Kolkata, May 20 The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Lok Sabha member from Alipurduar constituency in West Bengal, Manoj Tigga, told media persons on Tuesday that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be addressing a public rally in the Alipurduar district on May 29.

This will be the first visit by the Prime Minister after the successful Operation Sindoor in which the Indian Armed Forces successfully destroyed several terror bases in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir earlier this month.

The last time the Prime Minister visited West Bengal, as well as Alipurduar was before the Lok Sabha elections last year.

His public rally scheduled so far on May 29 is extremely crucial considering that West Bengal will be heading for the Assembly elections next year.

On Tuesday afternoon, Tigga, along with a group of local BJP leaders, examined the parade ground at Alipurduar, and there, while speaking to the media persons, he announced the possibility of the Prime Minister addressing the rally on May 29.

"This will be his first visit after the successful Operation Sindoor. So we came here today to inspect the parade ground. We tried to identify the exact spot where the dais can be raised from where the Prime Minister will address the rally. The Prime Minister had already addressed several public rallies in different parts of the country, highlighting the successes of the members of the Indian Armed Forces in Operation Sindoor. The scheduled rally at Alipurduar on May 29 is a part of his nationwide programme," Tigga said.

He also added that the scheduled rally of the Prime Minister will be a morale booster for the grassroots-level BJP workers in the state.

"We received the information last night only. We are yet to circulate the information to our workers at the booth levels. The Prime Minister's speech will surely be a morale booster for our party workers," he said.
