Amit Shah's two-day visit to West Bengal to take stock of BJP's preparedness ahead of 2021 assembly election will come to an end on Friday (November 6). During a closed-door meeting with the party leaders, he said the state party unit has to put up an intense fight against the ruling TMC to come to power in Bengal. He also set a target of winning 200 out of the total 294 seats in the 2021 West Bengal assembly elections.

Amit Shah on Thursday (November 5) had lunch at the house of a tribal BJP worker in Chaturdihi village in Bankura district. It was a vegetarian platter of Bengali delicacies, served on a plate with a banana leaf on it. Sitting on the floor of Bibhishan Hansda''s house, Shah had rice, roti, dal, ''patol bhaja'' (pointed gourd fry), ''shukto'' (mixed veg stew which is slightly bitter), ''alu- posto'' (potato cooked in poppy seed paste), and ''papad''. Although sweets such as ''rosogolla'', ''sandesh'' and ''mishti doi'' were there on the menu, the BJP leader declined to have those desserts. Shah was accompanied by BJP national general secretary Kailash Vijayvergiya, BJP national vice-president Mukul Roy and state party chief Dilip Ghosh.
