KOLKATA – Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) national president JP Nadda is set to visit Kolkata on Thursday, where he will chair a crucial meeting of the West Bengal BJP unit. The visit comes at a pivotal time for the party in the state, as it gears up for upcoming political challenges and organizational strengthening.
Nadda’s tour underscores the BJP’s commitment to bolstering its presence in West Bengal, a state where it has been aggressively expanding its footprint in recent years. The meeting is expected to focus on key strategies, including cadre training, membership drives, and preparations for future electoral battles. Party insiders reveal that discussions will also cover the current political landscape, marked by ongoing tensions with the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC).
This high-profile visit highlights Nadda’s hands-on approach to state-level politics. Since taking over as BJP chief, he has made it a point to personally oversee operations in critical regions like Bengal. Sources indicate that the agenda includes reviewing the party’s performance post the 2021 assembly elections and outlining a roadmap for 2024 Lok Sabha polls.
West Bengal BJP leaders have been vocal about their growth, claiming significant gains in rural and urban areas alike. Nadda’s leadership is anticipated to inject fresh momentum, with directives on countering opposition narratives and amplifying the party’s message on national issues like development and governance.
The meeting, slated for a prominent venue in the city, will see participation from top state functionaries, MLAs, and district presidents. It is part of a broader series of interactions Nadda has planned across India to unify and energize the party’s rank and file.
As Bengal remains a hotspot of political rivalry, this event could signal the BJP’s intensified push against the Mamata Banerjee-led government. Observers will be watching closely for any announcements or shifts in strategy that might reshape the state’s dynamic power play.
