The Foundation Day celebration will be held at the Sardar Patel Stadium here, where large number of party workers will come from all over the state, Gujarat BJP spokesperson Jagdish Bhavsar told reporters here.
"As the party president is coming for the first time after his taking over the post, he will be given a rousing welcome at the airport, in which Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi and state unit party president R C Faldu will be present," Bhavsar said.
Among the national leaders of BJP, only Rajnath Singh has been invited by the state BJP to be part of the grand function where he is likely to be felicitated.
The felicitation of Singh comes after Modi was inducted by him in the most powerful body of the party, the parliamentary board and also in the election committee, signalling his national elevation.
Virtually acknowledging his Prime Ministerial ambition, Modi had yesterday said it is the duty of every child to repay the debt he owes to "Mother India".
"I hope Mother India gives her blessings and nobody goes away without paying this debt," Modi said, in a clear indication that he is ready for a major role in the national politics for the 2014 general elections.
