He would also meet party leaders to have first-hand information about the state and advise them about the party programmes for the 2024 Parliament elections.

Nadda's visit is also a part of the central leadership's 'Pravas' campaign to strengthen its organisation in 144 Lok Sabha constituencies across the country that the party had lost by a slender margin in the 2019 elections.
