'Mission Bengal': Shah, Nadda in Didi land to firm up strategy for '24 polls
The Morning Standard
|December 26, 2023
UNION Home minister Amit Shah and BJP's national president J P Nadda are scheduled to be in Kolkata in their two-day Bengal visit starting from Monday to take stock of the party's preparations and assess the organisational landscape in the state ahead of the next year's Lok Sabha elections.
The two heavyweights of the saffron camp are scheduled to land in Kolkata late on Monday night and hold a series of indoor meetings.
The visit by Shah and Nadda is said to be significant in the backdrop of the BJP's stellar performance in Madhya Pradesh, Chattisgarh and Rajasthan and the two leaders will hold several meetings with the party's Bengal functionaries and others perceived to be close to the organisation. Shah and Nadda, however, will not attend any public events or rally.
