A crucial coordination meeting between the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Singh (RSS) and the West Bengal unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is slated to take place in Kolkata on Sunday, news agency IANS reported. The meeting, chaired by RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat, who is currently on a three-day visit to West Bengal, is anticipated to lay the groundwork for the BJP's strategy in the upcoming 2024 Lok Sabha polls.
