Two days after Prime Minister Modi's visit to Alipurduar district in West Bengal, Union Home Minister Amit Shah is scheduled to arrive in Kolkata on Saturday night.
According to sources in the state BJP, Shah during his two-day visit, is scheduled to hold some crucial meetings with senior leaders as well as attend a series of official and party programmes on Sunday.
He will be staying at a hotel off EM Bypass.
His Sunday itinerary includes a series of programmes: Amit Shah will inaugurate the Central Forensic Science Laboratory (CFSL) in Rajarhat, said sources and will then return to the hotel to hold a series of meetings.
Around 2 pm, he will be addressing the party workers and leaders at the Netaji Indoor Stadium, in Kolkata.
According to a senior party leader, the meeting will focus on the party's blueprint for the Assembly Election in 2026, including key issues affecting the public, concerns over women's safety and security in Bengal and 'the corruption within the TMC.'
'Amit Shah Ji will give us a roadmap for the next Assembly polls in the state. We have never done such a huge sabha, we have done sabha in science city. We want the PM to come every month and make Mission Bengal a success,' Union Minister and BJP state president Sukanta Majumdar said.
After the meeting, the Union Home Minister will visit the ancestral home of Swami Vivekananda at Simla Street in north Kolkata and then return to Delhi.
