PM Modi addressed a public rally in West Bengal's south Dinajpur district earlier today.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is campaigning in West Bengal for the third phase of the seven-phased Lok Sabha elections. Earlier in the day, PM Modi addressed a public rally in West Bengal's south Dinajpur district. The pubic meeting at Narayanpur ground has been organised in support of BJP candidate Sukanta Majumdar, a reputed botanist of Gour Banga University who is taking on sitting Trinamool Congress MP and noted theatre activist Arpita Ghosh. The BJP is dreaming big in Balurghat, once a stronghold of the Left. The BJP is hoping to wean a substantial part of the Left vote bank which has seen a lot of erosion across the state, as also get a large chunk of the substantial tribal vote in the constituency.
This was PM Modi's fifth visit to the state this year, and the seventh public meeting in Bengal in around two and a half months, according to news agency IANS. After Bengal, PM Modi will visit Bihar to address three rallies in 1200 Araria, Etah and Aonla.
