Amit Shah to visit Bengal, BJP to firm up poll strategy

The Statesman Kolkata

December 19, 2025

Union home minister Amit Shah is scheduled to visit West Bengal on 29-30 December, signalling the BJP's renewed push to strengthen its organisational base and electoral strategy ahead of the 2026 Assembly elections.

- STATESMAN NEWS SERVICE

During his two-day stay in Kolkata, Shah is expected to hold a series of meetings with the state BJP's core group leaders to review the party's preparedness for the crucial polls. According to BJP sources, the discussions will focus on assessing organisational strength, booth-level planning and coordination among party leaders. The meetings are also likely to review ground-level feedback and identify areas where the party needs to intensify its outreach, as the central leadership sharpens its focus on West Bengal, considered one of the BJP's key political battlegrounds.
