He noted that three programmes involving the party chief had been scheduled within his Assembly constituency.

Earlier, on Friday, BJP National President Nitin Nabin participated in the sacred Ganga Aarti held in Rishikesh, where he offered his reverence to Mother Ganga. In a post on 'X,' he wrote, "I was blessed with the privilege of participating in the divine Ganga Aarti in Rishikesh. The ceaseless and pristine flow of Mother Ganga serves as a sacred symbol of Indian faith, culture, and the very essence of life, a force that has nourished the nation's spiritual consciousness for centuries. On this auspicious occasion, I prayed to Mother Ganga for the nation's progress, the prosperity of society, and for peace and happiness in the lives of every citizen."
Meanwhile, Nitin Nabin also visited Parmarth Niketan in Rishikesh and sought the blessings of the sadhus and sages.
In a post on 'X,' he stated, "The community of sages is the living embodiment of India's Sanatan consciousness-one that has consistently worked to guide society, keep the soul of the nation awakened, and ensure the uninterrupted flow of our culture."

It's wonderful that he's spending time with a booth-level worker - that's how grassroots connections are built. The party seems to be genuinely engaging with the cadre. Kashmir and North East successes show this approach works. 2027 assembly elections will be interesting! 🚩✨
