Home Minister Amit Shah may take a tour to West Bengal on December 19 and 20, said sources from BJP. This would be Amit Shah’s second visit to the state in the last one and a half months.
An official from the West Bengal unit of the BJP, "Home Minister Amit Shah is likely to arrive in the state on December 19 and 20.”
"During his two-day visit, apart from meeting party workers, he will also interact with the general public. The Home Minister's visit will again infuse enthusiasm among the party workers the way it did the last time he visited the state," said the source.
Earlier on November 5, home Minister Amit Shah went for a two-day visit to Bengal. At that time, he had appealed to party workers to work towards achieving the target of winning more than 200 seats in the state.
In his last visit to the state, Amit Shah also interacted with public intellectuals and the general public to take a note of the political environment of the state.
This time around, the timing of Shah's visit is particularly significant because it comes just a day after the convoy of the party's national president J.P. Nadda was attacked during a visit to Diamond Harbour on Thursday.

BJP's West Bengal in-charge Kailash Vijayvargiya was also injured during the attack.
With the political temperature in the state rising in the wake of the attack on top leaders of the BJP, political watchers in Bengal are sceptical about the real intention behind Shah’s anticipated future visit to Bengal.
