Union Home Minister Amit Shah conducted a grand roadshow in Kolkata, starting from Hazra more and concluding near Survey Building, to submit nominations for BJP candidates including Suvendu Adhikari for Bhabanipur. The event was marked by vibrant celebrations, featuring music, dancing, and a significant turnout of BJP supporters, including monks in saffron attire. Shah called for 'Parivartan' (change) in West Bengal, emphasizing that the people desire a shift in governance due to rising concerns over women's safety, youth unemployment, and corruption. The roadshow passed notable locations, including the Kalighat Temple and near the residence of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, where the Trinamool Congress displayed black flags in protest. Shah reiterated his support for Adhikari, encouraging him to contest in his home constituency rather than Nandigram, and stated that the change would begin in Bhabanipur.
