PM Narendra Modi will virtually address the people of West Bengal on the commencement of Durga Puja tomorrow. Elaborate arrangements have been made to telecast the address in every booth of the state's 294 constituencies, following all social distancing norms. There are 78,000 booths.

On Monday, BJP president J P Nadda addressed a rally in Siliguri and said the implementation of Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) was delayed due to the pandemic and the law will be implemented soon. Nadda also slammed the West Bengal government for adopting a "divide and rule policy' and stopping benefits of Centre's schemes from reaching the people of the state.
