Kaliaganj (WB), Apr 14 (PTI) Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday participated in a colourful road show at Kaliaganj in West Bengal’s Uttar Dinajpur district in support of BJP candidates for the upcoming assembly polls.
Shah, accompanied by BJP candidate for Kaliaganj, Utpal Maharaj, and other state leaders, waved at people from atop a flower-decked truck as thousands of party supporters lining the roads cheered and raised slogans amid the beating of ‘dhaak’ (traditional drums).
Under the scorching sun, the road show began from Parvati Sundari High School Ground in the town, a BJP stronghold, and covered a distance of over 1 km.
Under strict watch of security forces, people assembled on both sides of the narrow roads and atop the nearby buildings to have a glimpse of Shah and showered the truck with petals.
Shah will address three public meetings at Gangarampur in Dakshin Dinajpur, and Manikchak and Gazole in Malda later in the day.
West Bengal will go to the polls in two phases on April 23 and 29. The counting of votes will be held on May 4. PTI SUS ACD
