Gandhinagar: The newly elected President of the Gujarat Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Jagdish Vishwakarma, will tour the state from October 10 to October 17, addressing party workers at six major conventions, according to a press release from the party’s Gujarat State Media Department.

During his visit, he will also tour several religious sites. Traditionally, well-wishers present garlands, bouquets, or mementos as a mark of respect.
