Shah to visit Bengal on Nov 5 & 6 as politics heats up

New Delhi, Oct 31 : In what could send the political temperature soaring in West Bengal, Union Home Minister Amit Shah has decided to visit the state for two days on November 5 and 6.
The all-important Assembly elections in the eastern state is scheduled for next year.
The Home Minister’s decision came just days after Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar met Shah in Delhi over the “state of affairs” in Bengal.
When asked by reporters about the correlation, BJP’s West Bengal general secretary Sayantan Basu rubbished any ‘political conspiracy’ angle.
Basu said, “He is the Union Home Minister. Every day he receives complaints that our cadres are being killed in Bengal. It may be so that he wants to find out first hand and wants to gauge the situation of West Bengal. There is no conspiracy. Many feel that he is coming to gauge the ground reality.” “Out of the five zones, the meeting of one zone is over. But the remaining four zones will hold meetings when Shah is here,” said BJP state President Dilip Ghosh.
