HM Amit Shah to address West Bengal farmers during his visit to allay fear over Farm Laws

As part of Centre's outreach program to allay fear over new Farm Laws, Union Home Minister Amit Shah is all set to address farmers in West Bengal during his visit to state on December 19. Shah's visit to state comes in line with saffron party's high-octane campaign ahead of 2021 West Bengal assembly elections. 

Amit Shah is expected to be in Bengal on December 19 and 20. He will address rallies in at least three districts, including East Midnapore. His visit is also said to raise heat on ruling party Trinamool Congress (TMC) since it comes days after party's goons allegedly attacked BJP National President JP Nadda when his convoy was on its way to Diamond Harbour. At least 8 BJP leaders were seriously injured during attack including state's top brass like Dilip Ghosh, Mukul Roy, and Kailash Vijayvargiya.

tably, reports have also suggested that TMC rebel Suvendu Adhikari is likely to join saffron party during Shah's visit. His resignation from  Mamata Banerjee cabinet had come as a major jolt to party. It also came after, senior TMC leader and Coochbehar Dakshin MLA Mihir Goswami quit party and joined BJP last month.

Reiterating BJP's 'Mission 200 seats', JP Nadda during his visit to Bengal had inaugurated BJP's West Bengal State Election Office which is soon to be followed by 36 new offices of saffron party across Bengal.

After its limited presence in politically polarised state for decades, BJP emerged as main rival of ruling TMC in 2019 general election, winning 18 of 42 Lok Sabha seats. party is hoping to repeat its unexpectedly stellar performance at a grander scale in 2021 assembly elections.
