Prime Minister Narendra Modi is reportedly planning a visit to West Bengal this month to address two public rallies, one in Malda on January 17 and another in Howrah on January 18. This visit is seen as the BJP's early campaign strategy for the 2026 Assembly elections, aiming to build momentum. The proposed rallies are part of the BJP's 'Paribartan Sankalp Sabha' meetings. State BJP leaders have not yet officially confirmed the itinerary, but preparations are underway. This follows a previously scheduled virtual address due to weather conditions.
