He comes from a small state Himachal Pradesh which has only four Lok Sabha seats. Moreover, he has been a Rajya Sabha MP. Let him first understand the nuances of Lok Sabha elections in a state like West Bengal,\u201d Roy said, answering a question during a press conference. Nadda is scheduled to visit Bengal in the second week of December to gear up the party&#8217;s plans with an eye on the 2021 Assembly elections of the state.<\/p>\n<p>With Assembly elections scheduled in West Bengal next year, BJP national leaders are visiting the state rather frequently to show the party direction and work out the details with state leaders. Union Home Minister Amit Shah was in the state early November and visited some south Bengal districts.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on Shah, Sougata Roy said that the BJP leader was not doing justice to the position of the Union Home Minister. \u201cWe thought he would look at the work of the Home Minister here, supervise the work of the BSF and other Central government agencies in Bengal. Instead, he garlanded a \u2018wrong\u2019 statue and did some other work,\u201d Roy said.
