Union Home Minister Amit Shah and BJP national president JP Nadda are set to embark on a two-day visit to Kolkata, emphasizing Bengal's significance in the BJP's strategy for the 2024 general elections. Their arrival in Kolkata is scheduled for Monday night, followed by a packed itinerary of key meetings and assessments.

The party insider confirmed the leaders' late-night engagements with state officials upon their arrival, followed by visits to Gurudwara Bara Sikh Sangat and Kalighat temple on Tuesday morning. The day will proceed with crucial closed-door meetings involving state leaders and organizational wings, essential groundwork for the upcoming polls, according to a state BJP leader.

Their day is tightly packed, devoid of any public appearances, as they delve into extensive evaluations of the party's organizational might in preparation for the looming Lok Sabha polls. The evening includes a closed-door program at the National Library before their departure for the national capital, underlining the gravity of their Bengal agenda.

Highlighting the unprecedented joint visit, BJP's state general secretary, Agnimitra Paul, stressed the remarkable significance Bengal holds for the party's central leadership. "This simultaneous visit of top leaders to Bengal underscores its paramount importance," she remarked.

Amit Shah's ambitious target of securing over 35 Lok Sabha seats in Bengal amplifies the stakes for this meticulous organizational groundwork. The BJP's past success in winning 18 out of the 42 seats in the state in the 2019 elections sets a high bar for their future aspirations.

This strategic visit assumes heightened significance amidst internal challenges post-2021 elections, with discord and defections denting the party's strength. The defection of key figures like Babul Supriyo, Arjun Singh, and Mukul Roy to TMC has prompted a reevaluation of the party's approach in Bengal.

As the BJP braces for the 2024 showdown, this visit signifies a crucial juncture in bolstering the party's organizational machinery, aiming to counter recent setbacks and strengthen its position in the state's political landscape.
