Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address two back-to-back election rallies in West Bengal on April 3, BJP leader Mukul Roy said on Sunday. Mr. Modi will speak at a public meeting at Siliguri in north Bengal at 1 p.m., followed by another rally at Kolkata’s Brigade Parade ground at 3 p.m. on the same day, Mr. Roy said. “The party is fully prepared to hold the two election rallies of Mr. Modi on the same day. It is a historical day for the BJP to organise such big meetings of the Prime Minister back-to-back,” he said. Senior BJP leaders including Amit Shah, Nitin Gadkari and Rajnath Singh would also visit West Bengal for campaigning before the general election next month.
