Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address four mass meetings during the course of the Rath Yatras in Bengal, State party president Dilip Ghosh said on Monday, adding the proposed rallies would be in addition to the final one that Modi would address at Brigade Parade Ground in Kolkata presumably on January 23.
“The Prime Minister himself has expressed his willingness to address these rallies in the course of the Yatras,” Ghosh said adding the State party was elated and was in touch with the Prime Minister’s office for the purpose.
The rallies could be held at Durgapur, somewhere in Birbhum district and Malda or Siliguri in North Bengal, Ghosh said adding the names of the venue were tentative and would be fixed finally after sometime.
The State BJP will take out three Rath (chariot) Yatras from Ganga Sagar, Birbhum and Coochbehar. The three Yatras will commence on December 5, 7 and 9 and will be inaugurated by BJP president Amit Shah.
“The Prime Minister has already addressed a rally at Midnapore, now we want him to address similar meetings in other places,” Ghosh said.
