Lok Sabha Elections 2024: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address four public meetings in West Bengal including Barrackpore in North 24 Parganas, Hooghly, Arambagh, and Howrah.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to hold poll rallies in three districts of West Bengal on Sunday including North 24 Parganas, Hooghly and Howrah ahead of phase four of the Lok Sabha elections. Modi arrived in Kolkata on Saturday night from Jharkhand and went to the Raj Bhavan amid tight security. 

The PM was welcomed by West Bengal Governor CV Ananda Bose at the Raj Bhavan, according to a PTI report. 

Modi will hold a public rally in support of Bharatiya Janata Party candidate Arjun Singh in Barrackpore in North 24 Parganas at 11:30 am. At 1 pm, the PM will reach Hooghly where he will address a public meeting in support of firebrand leader Locket Chatterjee. 

At 2:30 pm, he will address a poll rally in Arambagh in support of party candidate Arup Kumar and will later visit Howrah at 4 pm where he will hold a meeting.

Later in the day, he will reach Patna where he is scheduled to hold a roadshow.  

This will be Modi's second visit to the state capital this month after he reached Kolkata on May 2 and after spending a night at Raj Bhavan, addressed rallies in Krishnanagar, Purba Bardhaman and Bolpur Lok Sabha constituencies the next day. 

Modi's Sunday marathon rally comes a day ahead of the fourth phase of polling for the Lok Sabha polls on May 13 wherein voting will take place for eight constituencies in West Bengal. The Lok Sabha seats where voting will take place include: Bahrampur, Krishnanagar, Ranaghat, Bardhaman Purba, Burdwan-Durgapur, Asansol, Bolpur, and Birbhum. 

A total of 75 candidates are in the fray including heavyweight politicians, such as Congress West Bengal president Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury (Baharampur), BJP's former state chief Dilip Ghosh (Burdwan-Durgapur), former cricketer Yusuf Pathan (Baharampur) and actor-turned-politician Shatrughan Sinha (Asansol), are in the fray in this phase.
