BJP national president J P Nadda met Arjuna awardee and sport shooter Anjum Moudgil at her Chandigarh residence on Thursday as part of his party’s ‘Sampark Se Samarthan’ campaign to mark the completion of nine years of the Narendra Modi government. He also met industrialist and philanthropist Sanjeev Juneja in the Union Territory.
Nadda was also accompanied by the party’s national vice president Saudan Singh, Rajya Sabha MP Anil Jain and Chandigarh BJP chief Arun Sood. “As part of the ‘Sampark Se Samarthan’ campaign, met with Olympian and Arjuna Awardee sport shooter Anjum Moudgil Ji at her residence in Chandigarh and shared with her the achievements and initiatives made by our government over the past 9 years,” Nadda said in his tweet.
This meeting set off rumblings the shooter might replace Lok Sabha member and actress Kirron Kher as the face of the party in Chandigarh for the 2024 elections. According to observers, the BJP probably is trying its luck with the Arjuna awardee, although many BJP leaders are feeling disappointed by this speculated selection.
After his meeting with industrialist Juneja, Nadda said, “As part of the ‘Sampark Se Samarthan’ campaign, met with industrialist and philanthropist @imsanjeevjuneja ji at his residence in Chandigarh today and informed him about the various developmental initiatives and growth measures implemented by our government in the past 9 years under the able leadership of Hon. PM Shri @narendramodi ji.” Nadda also visited the residence of former Union minister and Ambala MP Rattan Lal Kataria who passed away last month after a brief illness. He met the family members of Kataria and expressed his condolences to them. Nadda said Kataria dedicated his life to serving the country. Earlier, on Thursday the BJP president also met with former Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh at the Captain’s residence in Mohali and discussed “several issues: including the political situation in the state. “It was a pleasure to welcome @BJP4India President @JPNadda ji and Vice President @saudansinghbjp ji at my residence today,” said the former CM, who is the member of the party’s national executive. Nadda in his tweet said “a detailed discussion was held with former chief minister @capt_amarinder on the state’s political situation, development and other topics in Punjab’s Mohali.” Nadda said the BJP is committed to the welfare of the people of Punjab. On this occasion, Amarinder Singh’s wife and MP Preneet Kaur, daughter Jai Inder Kaur and son Raninder Singh were also present. Amarinder Singh joined the BJP in 2022. Chief Nadda on Wednesday addressed a rally in Punjab’s Hoshiarpur as part of the BJP’s ‘Maha Jan Sampark’ programme to mark the completion of nine years of the Modi government.
