Visit Not Linked to Polls, Says BJP Leader
West Medinipur (West Bengal), December 20:
BJP leader Dilip Ghosh said on Saturday that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to West Bengal is focused on development and should not be linked to elections. He said the Prime Minister regularly travels across India to review and inaugurate development projects.
“Many people are linking this visit to elections. However, Prime Minister Modi travels across the country only for development programmes,” Ghosh said.
Long-Pending Road Project to Benefit People
Dilip Ghosh highlighted the long-pending road project between Barasat and Barajaguli. The road stretch is around 17–18 kilometres long. It has remained incomplete for nearly 10 to 15 years.
He said the project faced delays earlier because the state government did not clear land. “Now the road will finally be built. It will benefit everyone,” he added.
PM to Attend Development Programmes in Bengal
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to take part in several development-related programmes during his visit to West Bengal.
PM Modi’s Assam Visit on December 20–21
Prime Minister Modi will also visit Assam on December 20 and 21. On Sunday morning, he will become the first Prime Minister to pay tribute at the Swahid Smarak Kshetra in Boragaon, Guwahati. The memorial honours the martyrs of the Assam Movement.
Assam CM Calls Visit Historic
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said the Swahid Smarak Kshetra is a lasting tribute to the Bir Swahids of the Assam Movement. In a post on X, he said the Prime Minister’s visit to the site is historic.
Airport Inauguration and Fertiliser Project
On December 20, Prime Minister Modi will arrive in Guwahati at around 3 pm. He will inaugurate the new terminal building of Lokapriya Gopinath Bardoloi International Airport. He will also address a public gathering.
On December 21, after paying tribute at the memorial, the Prime Minister will travel to Namrup in Dibrugarh. There, he will perform the Bhoomi Pujan for the Ammonia-Urea Project of Assam Valley Fertiliser and Chemical Company Ltd. He will also address people at the event.
The new airport terminal is expected to improve Assam’s connectivity and support economic growth.
