BHOPAL: Madhya Pradesh's Malwa region is set to witness a series of high-profile political visits from September 17, with RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat, BJP national president Nitin Nabin and Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi scheduled to visit the region over four days.
Bhagwat and Nabin will be in Ujjain on September 17 and 18, while Rahul Gandhi will visit Indore on September 19 for the Chhatron ki Goonj (Echoes of Students) event.
Nabin's visit will be his first to Madhya Pradesh after becoming BJP national president. He is expected to attend the lighting of 25 lakh diyas on the banks of the Kshipra river in Ujjain on September 17, marking the launch of the month-long Seva Sankalp Abhiyan to commemorate Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 25 years in public life.
Bhagwat will attend a series of RSS meetings and events during his two-day stay in Ujjain, including the Yuva Dharma Sansad at Gita Bhawan, organised by Sevagya Sansthanam.
At the Yuva Dharma Sansad, Bhagwat will address students and working professionals from across the country who have registered for the event.
Sources said Nabin is also expected to meet Bhagwat during his visit to Ujjain.
According to informed sources, Nabin may also travel to Mandsaur district on September 17 for the release of a female African cheetah, possibly South African cheetah Nirwa, at the Gandhi Sagar Wildlife Sanctuary. The event will mark Prime Minister Modi's 76th birthday and four years of the cheetah reintroduction project launched at Kuno National Park.
Bhagwat and Nabin are scheduled to leave Madhya Pradesh on September 18.
Rahul Gandhi will address the Chhatron ki Goonj event in Indore on September 19, for which the Congress has been mobilising support across the state.
