Union Home Minister Amit Shah will flag off the fourth round of the BJP's 'Poriborton Yatra' from Cooch Behar in poll-bound West Bengal on Thursday and also address a public meeting at the Thakurbari ground here. According to party's media in charge Anil Baluni, Shah will address a meeting of the party's social media volunteers in Kolkata.
Shah's visit to the state will bolster the party’s campaign in the eastern state where polls will take place in April-May later this year. Earlier, Shah’s tour of Bengal scheduled for January 30-31 was cancelled at the last minute.
The BJP has planned five rounds of 'Poriborton Yatra' (journey for change) to cover all 294 assembly seats in the state as it steps up its campaign.
