Earlier, in the unlocked stage of COVID-19 lockdown, Amit Shah gave a virtual speech to the people of Bengal from Delhi on the occasion of BJP's public relations program. At that time, camps were set up in the districts of the state to listen to Amit Shah's speech.

The sudden cancellation of Shah’s trip has derailed several outreach programmes that the BJP had planned, including the home minister’s visit to the Iskcon temple in Nadia’s Mayapur on Saturday (January 30).

A total of 22 leaders of different political parties, including former state forest minister Rajib Banerjee, was scheduled to join the BJP at Amit Shah’s meeting. Even though Smriti Irani is a Union Minister, it would have been disrespectful for Rajib Banerjee to take over the BJP membership from her.

Under the changed circumstances, Rajib Banerjee and Baishali Dalmiya, Rathin Chakraborty, Prabir Ghoshal, and Parthasarathy Chatterjee are going to Delhi to meet Amit Shah. It is expected that the 5 TMC leaders will join the BJP today.
