Nitin Nabin Kicks Off BJP Presidency in Bengal, Eyes Bardhaman-Durgapur Rally
- •BJP's new national president, Nitin Nabin, chose West Bengal for his first official tour, signaling a strong focus on the state ahead of assembly elections.
- •Nabin's two-day visit begins January 27, with plans for a public rally on January 28 in Bardhaman-Durgapur, key industrial centers.
- •The strategic choice of Durgapur and Bardhaman aims to link economic stagnation and job losses to alleged governance failures of the Mamata Banerjee-led TMC government.
- •Nabin identified four core areas for Bengal BJP to target TMC: crimes against women, appeasement politics, economic lag, and education infrastructure.
- •He has repeatedly raised concerns about a "demographic shift" in West Bengal, a theme echoed by PM Narendra Modi, indicating a sharper ideological stance.
