PM to visit Bengal on Saturday, address Brigade rally, launch projects worth Rs 18,680 cr

KOLKATA: (Mar 14) Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit West Bengal on Saturday to address a rally at the iconic Brigade Parade Ground here and unveil development projects worth around Rs 18,680 crore, in his first trip to the state after the publication of the post-SIR electoral rolls last month.

The rally, organised by the BJP, will mark the culmination of the party's statewide 'Parivartan Yatra' ahead of the 2026 assembly elections.

After the surge in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections and the setback in the 2021 assembly polls, the BJP’s yatra is being seen as its most expansive statewide mobilisation in recent years.
