The meetings are an indication that the battle for the West Bengal Assembly polls is hotting up. In the organisational meeting organised by BJP in Kolkata, five central leaders were given charge of five zones of the State. The leaders included Sunil Deodhar who will look after Medinipur zone, north Bengal zone will be looked after Harish Dwivedi whereas Dushyant Kumar Gautam has been assigned Kolkata. The development also comes at a time when Amit Malviya has been assigned assigned as co-observer to West Bengal. Congress State unit president Adhir Ranjan Chowhury and Leader of Opposition Abdul Mannan visited Furfura Sharif, a prominent shrine of Bengali Muslims in Hooghly district.
