Union Home Minister Amit Shah will address BJP workers in Barrackpore and hold organisational meetings in north Bengal as the party intensifies preparations for West Bengal Assembly elections.

Kolkata: Union Home Minister Amit Shah is set to engage with Bharatiya Janata Party workers and leaders across West Bengal during his two-day visit, signalling an acceleration of the party’s election groundwork in the state.

According to BJP leaders, Shah will address a workers’ meeting in Barrackpore on Saturday morning before travelling to Bagdogra in the afternoon to hold an organisational review with party functionaries from north Bengal. The meetings are aimed at energising the cadre and fine-tuning booth-level strategies ahead of the Assembly polls due later this year.

This marks Shah’s second visit to West Bengal within a month. He had earlier toured Kolkata in late December for a mix of organisational discussions and public engagements as the BJP looks to strengthen its footprint in the state.

Analysis: Frequent visits by senior central leaders underline the BJP’s intent to sharpen its campaign early in a politically competitive state. For local party units, Shah’s interactions are likely to translate into tighter coordination and clearer messaging as election season approaches.
