BJP president Amit Shah arrived here on Friday on a three-day visit to Madhya Pradesh and was accorded a warm welcome by Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan and other party leaders at Bhopal’s Raja Bhoj Airport.

Senior BJP leaders, Kailash Vijaywargiya and Prabhat Jha, and state party president Nandkumar Singh Chauhan were among others who welcomed Shah at the airport.
