Kolkata:
Home Minister Amit Shah is back in West Bengal this weekend, 40 days after he kicked off the BJP s campaign for 200 out of 294 seats for election to the legislative assembly. His itinerary is yet to be fixed, but the highpoint, barring unforeseen circumstances, will be the induction of Trinamool Congress leader Suvendu Adhikari into the BJP.
Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, for the first time, publicly acknowledged and attacked potential party rebels now exploring options. The stage for Mr Adhikari s induction is being set for December 19 at Medinipur town in West Midnapore district, about 150 km from Kolkata, which is Mr Shah s first stop.
