Uttar Pradesh Elections: On the second day of his two-day visit to poll-bound Uttar Pradesh, JP Nadda also inaugurated the BJP's regional office.
BJP president J P Nadda on Tuesday paid obeisance at the Namdev gurdwara and asserted that no other leader has done the kind of work that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has done for the Sikh community.
He also credited PM Modi with ensuring that copies of Sikh scripture Guru Granth Sahib reached India from Afghanistan.
Forty-four Afghan Sikhs carrying three copies of the Guru Granth Sahib reached India on a special flight on August 24 after the Taliban's takeover of Afghanistan earlier that month.
Addressing people at the gurdwara, Mr Nadda said, "Being a soldier of the BJP, I bow my head at the feet of Guru Namdev ji and say with pride that no one else has done the work that our Prime Minister Narendra Modi has done for the Sikh community and the Sikh brothers."
