Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit Bengal to hold three public meetings in a span of four days this month. Modi will hold rallies in Purulia’s Bhangra, East Midnapore’s Contai and Bankura’s Ranibandh on March 18, 20 and 21, respectively.
On March 27, which is the first day of polls in Bengal, seven Assembly seats of Purulia Lok Sabha constituency, six under Contai Lok Sabha seat and five of Bankura Lok Sabha constituency will go to the polls.
“For us, Modiji is the mascot for Bengal polls. The more the number of rallies led by him, the better,” a BJP source said. “We are planning at least 20 such rallies to be addressed by Modiji in the run up to the Assembly polls,” this person added.
On March 14, Union home minister Amit Shah will address a rally at Jhargram district. The party has planned an equal number of public meetings for Shah as well.
