New Delhi: BJP president J P Nadda will launch an election manifesto crowdsourcing campaign in West Bengal on Thursday and address a public rally, the party said in a statement.
He will also address a conference of the intelligentsia, among his other engagements during a daylong stay in the poll-bound state, BJP’s national media in-charge Anil Baluni said.
