Bhubaneswar, April 10 (NationPress) The national president of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Union Minister J.P. Nadda is set to arrive here on Friday for a two-day visit to the state.

Following his arrival, J.P. Nadda will proceed to Cuttack to officially launch the Ayushman Bharat-Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (AB-PMJAY) in the state during a significant event at the Bali Jatra Ground on Friday afternoon.
