Patna, September 6 (IANS): BJP national president and Union Minister for Health and Family Welfare JP Nadda arrived in Patna on Friday for a two-day visit to the state, during which he will inaugurate five healthcare facilities at different places and meet party leaders.

He received a warm welcome from BJP leaders including two Deputy Chief Ministers Samrat Chaudhary and Vijay Kumar Sinha, party state president Dilip Jaiswal, Rituraj Sinha, Mangal Pandey and many others at the Patna airport.

BJP national secretary Rituraj Sinha said, “The visit of our national president JP Nadda is expected to significantly boost the morale of party workers in Bihar.
