New Delhi: Union Home Minister and BJP leader Amit Shah would be frequently visiting the poll-bound West Bengal from January onwards ahead of 2021 Assembly polls.
Sources informed that Shah would be visiting West Bengal for a week every month from February. This was communicated by Shah in an internal meeting with the leaders of the state on his recent visit.
The senior party leaders in BJP said that there are two dates that are being finalised by Shah's office for his next visit. While there is the possibility of him visiting the state on January 12 which is the birth anniversary of Swami Vivekananda, the other date that is under consideration could be around January 23, the birth anniversary of Subhash Chandra Bose.
"Post January 20 is a possibility," is what a top leader of the state said when asked about Shah's next visit. Shah's visit and the pressure on the state government because of his presence would grow intense, informed a senior party leader.
"He told us that February onwards he would be spending almost a week each month in the state till Assembly elections. His presence boosts the party cadre that is reeling under the oppression by the state for quite some time now," stated a senior BJP MP from West Bengal.
