BJP MP Manoj Tiwari to hold multiple campaign events in West Bengal today
New Delhi, April 13
BJP MP Manoj Tiwari will attend five election campaign programs in West Bengal today ahead of the Assembly elections 2026.
The BJP MP will hold a road show from Pincol More to Babughat, a roadshow and meeting from GulMohar to Nandibgan, a public meeting at Naihati, a rally and road show at Belgachia, and a campaign event at Howrah Uttar (GulMohar).
The visit comes as high-stakes campaigning intensifies for the polling of the 294-member West Bengal Assembly, which will be held in two phases on April 23 and April 29, with counting scheduled for May 4.
Taking it to X, Manoj Tiwari wrote, "Today, I will participate in 5 campaign programs in West Bengal, including a public meeting and a road show."
"Tomorrow morning in Delhi, Dehradun 709 BC, I will welcome all of you at the inauguration ceremony by the Prime Minister," he added on X.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to visit Uttarakhand on Tuesday, marking his 27th visit to the state. During the visit, the Prime Minister will inaugurate the Delhi-Dehradun Expressway and also dedicate to the nation the country's first variable speed pumped storage plant of 1,000 MW capacity in Tehri.
Earlier on Sunday, Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami carried out a detailed on-ground inspection from Jaswant Ground in Garhi Cantt to Maa Daat Kali Temple via road in view of the proposed visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Dehradun on April 14, to ensure the successful event of the program.

Five programs in one day is quite a schedule! While I appreciate the hard work, I hope these events don't cause major traffic disruptions for the common people in Kolkata and Howrah. Campaigns should be respectful of daily life.
The focus seems split between Bengal campaigning and the PM's Uttarakhand visit. Both are important, but I wish there was more clarity on the actual Bengal-specific development agenda being presented at these rallies, beyond just roadshows.
Bengal elections are always a high-voltage drama. Hope the campaigning remains issue-based and doesn't devolve into unnecessary clashes. The people deserve to hear about jobs, education, and women's safety.
Interesting to follow Indian state elections from abroad. The scale of campaigning with roadshows and multiple events in a day is immense. The Delhi-Dehradun expressway inauguration sounds like a significant infrastructure project too.
As a Bengali, I welcome all political parties to campaign, but they must address our core issues: industrial revival in Howrah, managing migration, and preserving our culture. Empty promises won't work this time. We are watching.
