JP Nadda reaches Kolkata to lead march in support of CAA

Kolkata: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) working president JP Nadda has reached Kolkata on Monday to lead a march in support of the Citizenship (Amendment) Act.

He was received by BJP General Secretary in-charge of West Bengal Kailash Vijayvargiya at the aerodrome in the morning.

Nadda is scheduled to address a public gathering at Shyambaza where he is likely to talk about the benefits that the people will reap from the implementation of the Citizenship (Amendment) Act.
