Amit Shah Begins Assam Visit Ahead of Three-Day Kolkata Strategy Stop

The itinerary pairs Guwahati security inaugurations with a Kolkata organisational review for the 2026 state race.

Overview

  • Shah is in Assam on December 28–29 to inaugurate the Guwahati Police Commissionerate and an Integrated Command and Control System that will monitor over 2,000 CCTV cameras.
  • He is scheduled to visit Batadrava Than in Nagaon to open the redevelopment of Srimanta Sankardeva’s birthplace and to address a public rally at Borduwa, with the day ending at the new 5,000-seat Jyoti Bishnu Cultural Complex in Guwahati.
  • The Kolkata leg runs December 29–31 with closed-door reviews involving the BJP state core team, RSS functionaries, and party MPs and MLAs, alongside planned media outreach and a visit to the ISKCON temple.
  • The BJP has decided there will be no public rally during the West Bengal visit, with a workers’ conference slated for December 31 to energise cadres.
  • Party leaders describe the twin trips as part of a broader push to shape 2026 strategies in Assam, West Bengal, Kerala and Tamil Nadu, with West Bengal’s electoral-roll revision disputes forming a key political context.
