The Cooch Behar Lok Sabha constituency in West Bengal is set to witness a fiery campaign on Thursday, with consecutive rallies planned by both Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.
While Ms. Banerjee is scheduled to speak at a rally in the constituency at noon, the PM will address a mega rally at the Rasleela ground at 3 p.m., with both venues being 30 km apart.
The constituency, recently marred by clashes between supporters of sitting BJP MP and Union Minister Nisith Pramanik and Trinamool Congress (TMC) Minister Udayan Guha, has now become a battleground of prestige, with both parties leaving no stone unturned to secure victory.
