In a series of tweets, Modi shared details of his visits to the two poll-bound states. Assmebly polls in Assam and West Bengal will be held in April-May this year.

"I will be among the people of Assam tomorrow. At a programme in Dhekiajuli, Sonitpur district, the 'Asom Mala' programme will be launched, which will boost the state's road infrastructure. This initiative will contribute to Assam's economic progress and improve connectivity," he tweeted.

At a programme there I will dedicate to the nation the LPG import terminal built by BPCL. And I will also dedicate Dobhi-Durgapur Natural Gas Pipeline section of the Pradhan Mantri Urja Ganga project."
