Kolkata, July 5 (Reporter) Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to visit West Bengal once again this July, just before his election campaign in Bihar which is scheduled for assembly polls later this year. The state BJP unit under the leadership of new elected president Samik Bhattacharya is making all efforts to bring the Prime Minister before the Trinamool Congress martyr’s day rally on July 21.

This would not only energize our party cadre ahead of the Assembly polls but also send a strong political message just before TMC’s July 21 programme,” the member added. According to party insiders, such a move would help the BJP counter the TMC narrative and serve as a morale booster for workers who are now regrouping under Bhattacharya’s leadership. Modi last visited the state on May 29, when he addressed a rally in Alipurduar. In his speech, he launched a scathing attack on the Trinamool government, accusing it of fostering violence, lawlessness, corruption, unemployment, and depriving the poor of their rights. He also raised concerns over the safety of women and a growing sense of despair among the youth...////...
