With a few months to go for the much-anticipated Bihar elections, NDA allies and several BJP leaders have been making rounds in the state. With PM Modi just concluding his public address a few days ago, Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan is now on a one-day visit to Bihar.
Pradhan met Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar at his residence in Patna. As reported by news agency PTI, the union minister met Kumar and discussed issues pertaining to the development of the eastern state.
The senior BJP leader, who hails from Odisha’s Sambalpur constituency, has also worked as the party's national general secretary in charge of the state.
