Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday will be on the final day of his two-day visit to West Bengal. Shah was scheduled to visit the state earlier on the occasion of Durga Puja but the trip was cancelled.
During his two-day visit, the Union Home Minister is scheduled to meet BJP's state leaders, review poll preparations, look into organisational matters and also discuss the party's strategy for the upcoming Assembly polls.
Earlier this year, Shah had addressed a virtual rally for the state. This is his first visit to West Bengal after the COVID-19-induced lockdown. He had last visited the state on March 1 amid the anti-Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) protests.
On his first day, Amit Shah paid tribute to Birsa Munda's statue in Bankura.
Shah on Thursday said that t benefits of more than 80 schemes of the Central government are blocked for the people by the Mamata Banerjee government in West Bengal.
"Benefits of more than 80 schemes of the Central government for poor and tribals are blocked by the Mamata government. I would like to tell Mamata Banerjee that if she perceives that she can stop BJP by these moves then it is her misconception," Shah told reporters on the first day of his visit to West Bengal.
"The kind of exploitative policies Mamata government is employing against the BJP workers, it is clear that the end of the Mamata government has come. In the next election, BJP will form a government with a two-thirds majority," he added.
