Amit Shah Arrives in Kolkata to Attend BJP’s Legislature Party Meeting
Kolkata: Union Home Minister Amit Shah arrived in Kolkata on Friday morning to attend the BJP legislative party meeting where its leader will be elected and the swearing-in ceremony of the party’s first government in West Bengal. Shah was welcomed at the Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport by BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari, among others.
From the airport he went to a hotel in New Town. In the afternoon, Shah will attend the legislative party meeting of the BJP at the Biswa Bangla Convention Centre.
On Saturday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will attend the swearing-in ceremony at the Brigade Parade along with BJP president Nitin Nabin and chief ministers of all NDA-ruled states.
The BJP scored a historic victory in the recently held assembly elections, ending TMC’s 15-year rule and handing Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee one of the biggest defeats in her political career. Governor RN Ravi on Thursday dissolved the assembly, paving the way for the formation of a new government.
