In a significant development ahead of the 2021 Assembly polls, Union Home Minister Amit Shah has postponed his visit to West Bengal. A News18 report quoting sources said that due to unavoidable reasons, Shah won't be visiting the state on October 17. BJP President JP Nadda will instead pay a visit two days later. Shah was to visit Bengal after Durga Puja and meet party leaders in South Bengal. With the 2021 Assembly polls in mind, both Trinamool Congress and the BJP are working hard to outdo each other. The state BJP has raised the political temperature with its ‘Nabanna Chalo Abhijan’ earlier in August 8 and now plans to take it forward with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's virtual address to people on October 22.
