According to a BJP source, the meetings will focus on reviewing the party's preparedness and strategy for the upcoming West Bengal Assembly elections. The Home Minister is expected to assess organisational strength, booth-level planning, and coordination among party leaders ahead of the crucial polls.

PM Modi's Visit and Electoral Roll Controversy
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will also visit West Bengal on December 20. During his visit, PM Modi will address a rally in Taherpur in Nadia district.
PM Modi's visit comes amid Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress's opposition to the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the electoral roll in the state. The Election Commission has stated that the claims and objections window will remain open until 15 January 2026, urging voters to verify their details, as the SIR continues to be a key issue in Bengal's charged political landscape ahead of the next Assembly polls.
