Amit Shah to address twin rallies in poll-bound West Bengal today

| @indiablooms | Mar 15, 2021, at 05:04 pm

Kolkata/IBNS: With his eyes on polls, Union Home Minister Amit Shah will on Monday hold twin rallies in West Bengal, which is witnessing a close fight between the Trinamool Congress and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

Shah will hold rallies in Jhargram and then in Ranibandh.

UPDATE: Shah will address Jhargram rally virtually as his helicopter has developed a technical snag

Giving a huge setback to the Trinamool in the 2019 General Elections, the BJP had managed to win in Jhargram, which was once a pride of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and her party.

While the Trinamool is aiming to win back the lost ground not just in Jhargram but in entire north Bengal, the BJP is looking to hold on to its performance giving itself a chance to form government in the state.

Shah, a tall BJP leader and a gamechanger for his saffron party, on Sunday once again reiterated that the BJP will win over 200 seats in the upcoming polls, dashing Mamata's hope to return to power.

Under Shah, the BJP has swept all major regions of the country and West Bengal is undoubtedly the last frontier to be conquered leaving aside south India.
