Overview
- Shah begins a two-day Assam visit 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.
- His Assam schedule includes inaugurating the Batadrava Than redevelopment at Borduwa in Nagaon and addressing a public rally at the site, followed by the opening of the 5,000-seat Jyoti Bishnu Cultural Complex in Guwahati.
- From December 29–31 in Kolkata, the BJP has opted against a public rally as Shah holds closed-door meetings with the state core team, RSS functionaries, and party legislators to review 2026 election preparedness.
- A workers’ conference in Kolkata on December 31 is slated to cap the Bengal leg, with internal guidance expected on organisational structuring and campaign themes.
- The West Bengal visit coincides with the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls, with party discussions expected on handling allegations of deletions affecting the Matua community while shaping the party’s public messaging.
