Kolkata (IANS): Union Home Minister Amit Shah will release the BJP’s election manifesto today for West Bengal’s upcoming two-phase Assembly elections.
The BJP calls the manifesto its “Sankalp Patra.” In a social media post this morning, Shah announced the release and claimed that West Bengal’s citizens—stifled by the Trinamool Congress government’s misrule—now demand a change.
“Bengal, weary of TMC, now seeks change,” the Home Minister wrote. “Today in Kolkata, I will release the BJP’s ‘Sankalp Patra’ to free Bengal from TMC’s ‘reign of terror’. Thereafter, I look forward to connecting with the state’s brothers and sisters through a public meeting in Debra and a roadshow in Kharagpur.”
Campaign Trail: Key Schedules
The BJP’s top leadership has a packed itinerary as the state nears the first polling date:
-
Amit Shah (Saturday): Will address rallies in Chhatna (Bankura) and Baghmundi (Purulia).
-
PM Narendra Modi (Saturday): Will headline three consecutive rallies in Jangipur, Katwa, and Balurghat.
