PM Modi offering prayers in the temple.
After the heavy voting in the first phase in the West Bengal Assembly, BJP has put in all its strength. Before the second phase of voting, Prime Minister Narendra Modi held a huge road show in North Kolkata on Sunday. During this time, a large crowd of people is gathering on both sides of the road. Before the start of the road show, PM Modi offered prayers at the ancient Siddha Shaktipeeth Thanthaniya Kalibari Temple located in Vidhan Sarani, Kolkata. PM Modi took blessings of Maa Kali in the temple.
The priests blessed PM Modi with chanting of mantras. During this, Prime Minister Modi remained silent for some time and prayed. After this, after talking to the priests, he left for the road show. As soon as PM Modi’s special vehicle hit the streets, the entire area echoed with the sounds of Jai Shri Ram and conch shells. The road show started from BK Pal Avenue till Khanna Crossing. Thousands of people were standing on both sides of the roads throughout the route. Women and elderly people were showering flowers on the Prime Minister from rooftops and balconies.

Kolkata, this evening I prayed at the sacred temple.
This ancient temple has close ties with Bengali culture, especially Kolkata. This temple also has a deep association with Shri Ramakrishna, he often prayed here.

It is said that Ramakrishna Paramahansa often used to come to this temple and sing hymns of Maa Siddheshwari. Inside the temple, the ‘vaani’ he said is engraved on the walls, which reads: ‘Shankarer Hridoy Majhe, Kali Biraje’ (Mother Kali resides in the heart of Shankar).
After record voting, BJP is campaigning vigorously
A record turnout of more than 92 percent has been recorded in the first phase of voting held on April 23 in West Bengal. After this, BJP’s morale has increased. The BJP high command is considering this huge turnout in its favor. Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself, Union Home Minister Amit Shah and other big leaders are campaigning vigorously before the second phase of voting. Now all eyes are on the second phase of voting to be held on April 29.
Along with Thanthaniya Kalibari temple, PM Modi offered prayers at Matua temple today. He has a special association with Matua community and culture. Earlier in the year 2019, he had met ‘Bodo Maa’ Binapani Thakur. This picture is from that meeting.
Attempt to woo urban voters
Let us tell you that this road show of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in North Kolkata is being considered very important strategically. BJP is trying to woo the urban voters of this region, where TMC’s influence has been very strong.
Political analysts believe that the purpose of this road show of the Prime Minister is to influence those seats of North Kolkata where the competition is very tough. On the other hand, Trinamool Congress is also continuously holding rallies to maintain its hold.
