Successive visits by top Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders to West Bengal this month will center on internal organisational discussions regarding the party’s strategy for the upcoming state Assembly elections. Both the newly-elected national president, Nitin Nabin, and Union Home Minister Amit Shah are set to visit the state without holding any public rallies. Their main focus will be on meeting with state BJP leaders to plan strategies and address state-specific issues for the impending polls later this year.
Nabin is expected to reach Kolkata on January 27 for a two-day visit, during which he will engage in closed-door meetings with the state BJP leadership. The following day, he will proceed to Burdwan in East Burdwan district for a scheduled program, details of which are yet to be disclosed. Subsequently, he will return to New Delhi on the same evening.
On January 30, the Union Home Minister will have a single-day visit to West Bengal, also emphasizing closed-door organisational discussions over public appearances. The activities of both leaders are geared towards internal organisational planning, with a focus on the upcoming state Assembly elections, expected to be announced by the end of February or early March. During his previous visit last month, Shah refrained from public rallies and roadshows, prioritizing internal meetings, with his only public engagement being a press conference.
