Key Takeaways
New Delhi, March 14 (NationPress) Enthusiastic supporters of the BJP from the isolated regions of the Sundarbans embarked on their journey early Saturday morning to participate in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's grand rally at the iconic Brigade Parade Ground.
Numerous party members and supporters from island locations such as Sagar Island, Namkhana, and Patharpratima were observed navigating rivers by boat, making their way to the mainland before heading towards Kolkata.
The unique geographical features of the Sundarbans—where waterways serve as the primary transportation channels—prompted many supporters to set out at dawn to ensure their attendance at the rally.
Images from the region depicted crowds boarding boats adorned with party flags, all en route to the rally site. BJP leaders noted that the participation from remote and rural areas signifies a burgeoning enthusiasm among supporters as they gear up for the forthcoming political contests in West Bengal.
One supporter traveling from the Sundarbans expressed their excitement to hear the Prime Minister speak at the event.
“We are traveling by boat through the Sundarbans today because Modi ji is attending the Brigade rally. We are eager to listen to him. The current state government has been marred by corruption and misappropriation—there have been scams and even theft of rice intended for the needy. We seek change in 2026,” he shared with IANS.
Another supporter highlighted the unity among diverse groups attending the rally.
“Individuals from various backgrounds and communities are uniting for the event,” he remarked.
Prime Minister Modi's speech at the Brigade Parade Ground in Kolkata is anticipated to be one of the most significant political gatherings in the state this year. The rally also signifies the conclusion of the BJP's extensive outreach campaign leading up to the upcoming Assembly elections.
During his visit, the Prime Minister is expected to inaugurate and lay the foundation stones for major infrastructure initiatives, including critical national highway projects aimed at enhancing connectivity throughout West Bengal.
Party officials are optimistic about a substantial turnout at the rally, with supporters arriving from districts across the state since the early hours to participate in the event.
