Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be spending three days in West Bengal in the first week of March. The visit comes at a time when the BJP is attacking the Mamata Banerjee government over reports of alleged sexual assault by Trinamool Congress leaders in Sandeshkhali and the party’s alleged attempts to protect them.
Apart from official programmes, Mr. Modi is scheduled to address public meetings in Arambagh on March 1, staying overnight in the State and addressing another public meeting in Krishnanagar. He will return to West Bengal on March 6 to address a women’s rally.
BJP president for West Bengal, Sukanta Majumdar, said that women who had complained against Trinamool leader Shahjahan Sheikh and his supporters of land grabbing and sexual coercion will be assisted by the State unit, if they sought a meeting with Mr. Modi.
