PM to launch BJP’s Bengal campaign from Cooch Behar

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to visit Cooch Behar on Sunday to launch the BJP’s campaign for the West Bengal Assembly elections, a senior party leader said. Modi is scheduled to address a ‘Bijoy Sankalpa Sabha’ at the historic Ras Mela grounds around noon, marking the start of the party’s intensified outreach in north Bengal.

During the rally, Modi is expected to outline the party’s vision for a “developed West Bengal,” highlight issues raised in the BJP’s recently released ‘people’s chargesheet’ against the ruling TMC Government in the State, and focus on governance, law and order, and alleged corruption.
