Kashyap further informed that other bigwigs of the BJP including Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Defense Minister Rajnath Singh, and BJP national president J P Nadda will also be visiting the state. Union Ministers Nitin Gadkari, Smriti Irani, and Kiren Rijiju will also visit the state to address rallies in days to come, he added.
