Himachal Pradesh will have the Assembly Election by the end of this year, hence, the political stir in the state has begun.
BJP president JP Nadda will be on a two-day visit to Himachal Pradesh from Friday during which he will attend a number of public programmes, including a roadshow and a rally.
Party's chief spokesperson Anil Baluni said Nadda will conduct a roadshow in Nagrota Bagwan and later address a rally there on Friday.
