West Bengal: Amit Shah visits Gangasagar's Kapil Muni Ashram to offer prayers

Today is the first day of Shah's visit to the poll-bound state. Shah will launch the fifth and final phase of the BJP's 'Poriborton Yatra' from the South 24 Parganas district and attend several other programmes. He is also scheduled to eat lunch with a refugee's family at Narayanpur village in what appears to be an expression of solidarity with the people promised citizenship by the BJP. He will also take part in a roadshow at Namkhana.
