Senior party leaders and workers are expected to welcome him upon his arrival at Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport in Ahmedabad at 12:30 pm on Friday.
Soon after, Nabin will head to Naranpura where he is slated to meet Members of Parliament and Members of the Legislative Assembly at the GSC Bank premises. The interaction is aimed at reviewing party activities and discussing coordination between elected representatives and the organisation.
Budget Discussion and Industry Interaction
In the evening, the BJP president will travel to Gandhinagar to participate in a Budget Meet at Infocity. According to party officials, the gathering will bring together industrialists, entrepreneurs, chartered accountants, doctors and representatives of various professional associations. The event is expected to focus on economic policies and stakeholder feedback in the context of the Union Budget.
Sabarmati Visit and Temple Prayers

After concluding his engagements, the BJP president is scheduled to return to Delhi later that afternoon.
Focus on Organisational Strength
Speaking about the visit, Vishwakarma reiterated that the BJP functions as a cadre-based organisation rooted in its ideological framework. He cited the political journeys of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah as examples of leaders who rose through the party ranks.
He also noted that at 45, Nabin is the youngest national president in the party’s history. According to state leaders, the Gujarat tour is designed to reinforce coordination within the organisation and expand engagement with different sections of society.
