New Delhi, March 14: Ahead of the upcoming West Bengal Assembly elections, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address a significant political rally at Kolkata’s historic Brigade Parade Ground on Saturday. This event marks the conclusion of the BJP’s statewide Parivartan Yatra.
The West Bengal unit of the BJP anticipates a large turnout, as supporters are traveling from across the state to hear the Prime Minister’s speech. Preparations at the venue are in full swing, with multiple stages being set up for the event.
Authorities have deployed thousands of police personnel in various parts of the city to manage security and control the expected crowd, along with implementing traffic restrictions.
During his visit, Prime Minister Modi is set to inaugurate and lay the foundation for infrastructure and connectivity projects worth approximately ₹18,680 crores. This includes national highway projects spanning over 420 kilometers, costing around ₹16,990 crores. These initiatives aim to enhance road safety, reduce traffic congestion, cut travel times, and promote regional connectivity and economic growth in Eastern India.
The most significant project is the 231-kilometer Kharagpur-Morgaram Economic Corridor, which will be developed as a four-lane highway. This corridor is expected to reduce the distance between Kharagpur and Siliguri by about 120 kilometers, cutting travel time by nearly eight hours.
Additionally, the Prime Minister will lay the foundation for new bridges over the Dubrajpur bypass on NH-14 and over the Kangshabati and Silabati rivers, further strengthening highway connectivity in the region.
According to Raju Banerjee, the BJP’s West Bengal Vice President, organizational preparations for the rally are progressing rapidly. However, he refrained from disclosing the exact number of stages being constructed at the venue, citing security protocols.
Earlier in the day, Prime Minister Modi is scheduled to participate in events in Silchar, Assam, before heading to Kolkata for the rally and other engagements.
