Union Home Minister Amit Shah will on Saturday address the valedictory session of a national-level meeting of the BJP's OBC Morcha in Jodhpur, the home turf of Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot.
Mr Shah is also scheduled to deliver the inaugural address at a meeting of the BJP's booth-level workers in Jodhpur.
The Home Minister will arrive at the Air Force station in Jaisalmer on Friday evening. He will interact with BSF officials at the south sector headquarters in Dabla (Jaisalmer) and spend the night at the BSF Officers' Institute.
Mr Shah will visit the Tanot Mata temple in Jaisalmer on Saturday morning before leaving for Jodhpur.
In Jodhpur, he will address the valedictory session of the BJP OBC Morcha's national working committee meeting at a city hotel.
National president of the morcha K Laxman, Union Labour Minister Bhupendra Yadav, and the BJP's Rajasthan unit chief Satish Poonia inaugurated the two-day working committee meeting on Friday morning.
Soon after the OBC Morcha meeting, Shah will address BJP's booth-level workers at Jodhpur's Dussehra Ground. The party is mobilising its booth-level workers from the entire division for the meeting.
"The party workers' meeting is going to be historic," a BJP leader told Press Trust of India.
The national working committee meet of the BJP's OBC Morcha in Jodhpur is aimed at strengthening the party's OBC vote bank in the state ahead of the 2023 Assembly elections.
Jodhpur is the home town of Ashok Gehlot, who also belongs to the OBC category.
The BJP also wants to measure its strength in the state's western part ahead of the elections.
