Jodhpur, April 22 (IANS) Getting a first-hand insight into the election campaign of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), a seven-member delegation of diplomats from various missions in India is currently on a visit to Jodhpur in Rajasthan.
During the three-day trip which began on Monday, the delegation — comprising diplomatic representatives from Bangladesh, Indonesia, Malaysia, Russia, and Suriname — will experience the BJP’s campaign blitz in the desert state.
