Kolkata, April 18: Ahead of the first phase of voting in the West Bengal Assembly elections, senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and Prime Minister Narendra Modi will intensify his election campaign in the state by addressing four public rallies in the Jangalmahal region on Sunday. This tour will focus specifically on wooing tribal voters.
On Sunday, Prime Minister Modi will hold rallies in several key areas of the state’s Radh Bengal region. His itinerary includes Bishnupur, Purulia, Jhargram, and Medinipur. Holding four rallies in a single day is considered a departure from his usual election schedule.
As scheduled, the Prime Minister will arrive at Andal Airport on Saturday night and stay overnight in Durgapur. He will then arrive in Bankura on Sunday morning, where he will address his first rally in Barjoda at around 11 am.
The Prime Minister will then travel to Purulia, where a second rally is scheduled for around 12:45 pm in the Balarampur Assembly constituency. The third rally will be held in Jhargram, near the city area, at 2:45 pm. The fourth and final rally will be held in Medinipur.
Additionally, the Prime Minister will visit Belur Math in Howrah on April 23rd. From there, he will conduct a road show to Shalakia. A public rally is also scheduled for Krishnanagar on the same day. With
only five days remaining for the first phase of voting, election campaigning in the state has intensified. Several senior BJP leaders, including Prime Minister Modi, are continuously touring Bengal.
The BJP has projected Prime Minister Modi as its main campaign face in all 294 assembly constituencies. The party is also repeatedly reiterating the slogan of building “Sonar Bangla.”
According to political analysts, the Prime Minister’s visit is seen as a strategic effort to consolidate support among the tribal community in the Jangalmahal region.
