Amit Shah arrives at Kolkata Mayo Road rally venue to address supporters

Speaking at the venue of the BJP chief Amit Shah's rally, BJP leader and Rajya Sabha MP Roopa Ganguly said posters and banners by the ruling Trinamool Congress adjacent to BJP's displays to provoke them will not yield anything to the ruling party.

"It is simple to understand why they are putting up those banners and posters all over Bengal. They can spend crores and crores but nothing will yield to them," she said.

The entire episode of Shah rally in Kolkata had turned contentious when the Bharatiya Janata Party claimed that he was not given permission to hold the rally in the city by the Kolkata Police.

The Kolkata Police, however, granted permission to Shah for the rally.

Amit Shah yesterday tweeted: "Tomorrow, I will be in West Bengal to address the "Yuva Swabhiman Samavesh" organised by @BJYM in Kolkata."

The rally is taking place at a time when the BJP and the ruling Trinamool Congress are engaged in a battle over the NRC issue in Assam.

India recently announced exclusion of about four million people from citizenship in the northeastern state of Assam bordering Bangladesh after a draft National Register of Citizens (NRC) was published.

The TMC has been opposing the move of the Centre.

Shah and his BJP are aiming to increase seats in West Bengal where it had clinched 2 in 2014 Lok Sabha polls.

2019 is scheduled to host the Lok Sabha polls.
