Union Home Minister Amit Shah is leading a series of public engagements in West Bengal as part of the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) campaign for the 2026 Assembly elections. On Saturday, Shah will address two public meetings in the Jamalpur and Shyampur Assembly constituencies, followed by roadshows in key areas including Howrah and South Kolkata. These roadshows will traverse constituencies such as Shibpur, Howrah Central, Howrah South, Tollygunge, and Jadavpur, showcasing the BJP's intensified outreach efforts. Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently addressed a rally in Jadavpur, asserting that the initial phase of voting has demonstrated unprecedented support for the BJP, suggesting that the Trinamool Congress (TMC) may struggle to gain traction in several districts. The second phase of voting is set for May 29, with vote counting scheduled for May 4.
