BJP national president and Union Health Minister J P Nadda on Saturday laid the foundation stone of the party’s new state office in Shimla. He said the new office would give fresh energy to the organisation.
The new state office will be built at Majthai near Jubbarhatti Airport in the Shimla Rural Assembly segment, around 29 kilometres from Shimla.
Nadda inspected the land for the office and was briefed by state BJP chief Rajiv Bindal about the proposed building plan. Nadda also shared his suggestions on the design, functional needs and future use of the office complex.
The foundation ceremony was held with Vedic chants by five priests and lasted around 45 minutes. After the ritual, the ‘Kalash Sthapana’ ceremony was performed.
Later, Nadda met party workers over tea and discussed ways to strengthen the organisation and upcoming programmes. Leader of Opposition Jai Ram Thakur, state BJP chief Rajiv Bindal, state in-charge Shrikant Sharma, co-in-charge Sanjay Tandon, organisation general secretary Siddharthan, former Union Minister Anurag Thakur, former state BJP president Suresh Kashyap, and several BJP legislators and leaders were present as Nadda laid the first brick of the new office.
Earlier on Friday night, Nadda visited the residence of Deputy Chief Minister Mukesh Agnihotri along with Jai Ram Thakur and Rajiv Bindal. He congratulated Agnihotri on his daughter’s wedding.
