Prime Minister Narendra Modi held a grand roadshow in Howrah on Thursday evening, campaigning for BJP candidates and drawing a massive, enthusiastic crowd. The Prime Minister joined the roadshow after addressing a series of back-to-back election rallies across West Bengal, as part of the party’s intensified outreach ahead of the polls.

Thousands of people lined the streets as Modi waved at the cheering crowds from atop a saffron-hued truck amid chants of ‘Bharat Mata ki Jai’, ‘Jai Shri Ram’ and the BJP’s West Bengal poll slogan ‘Paltano darkar, tai BJP sarkar’ (Need a BJP government to bring about change).
