SERAMPORE/ ASANSOL: BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi will be back in Bengal, for the third time in succession, to address a public rally in Hooghly's Uttarpara on Sunday. Modi is expected to address another rally in Asansol's Ningha on May 4. BJP is pitching hard for Asansol having lined up several star campaigners – Shatrughan Sinha and Baba Ramdev–here."Modi will address a rally in Uttarpara on Sunday in support of our two candidates from the region – Bappi Lahiri (for Serampore) and Chandan Mitra (for Hooghly)," state BJP president Rahul Sinha said. BJP general secretary Amal Chatterjee during the day met the Uttarpara inspector in Charge Arijit Dasgupta for a formal permission. Dasgupta said, "From a security perspective we have allowed permission for the Uttarpara CA grounds."Chatterjee said they were earlier keen for the Serampore Rifle Grounds (where Mamata Banerjee spoke only on Tuesday) and even a Baidyabati location. "Since he will be taking a helicopter from Dum Dum, the security logistics are paramount," he said. Modi had been to Bengal twice before, in Kolkata on February 5 and in Siliguri on April 10.Modi is slated to come to Asansol's Ningha on May 4, confirmed BJP's Asansol candidate Babul Supriyo. "Shatrughan Sinha will campaign for me on May 2 at Kulti Lok Sabha constituency and Bappi Lahiri is also slated to come for my campaign, in spite of his busy schedule in Serampore," Babul said. Yogaguru Baba Ramdev will also visit Burnpur, Rupnarayanpur and other places for Babul's campaign on May 1 and 2.Asansol is slowly turning into a political hotbed. Indrani Mishra, Congress' Asansol candidate, said UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi will campaign for her on May 5 at the historic Asansol Polo Ground. V Sivadasan, Trinamool Congress district president, said chief minister Mamata Banerjee will also campaign for the party candidate Dola Sen at the Asansol Polo Ground. She will be accompanied by cinestars Mithun Chakraborty and Dev. Mamata will be here for the fourth time in succession. This is also a first, for she hasn't campaigned in a single Lok Sabha constituency so many times. CPM is not far behind in Asansol either. Tripura CM Manik Sarkar has already campaigned. Surjya Kanta Mishra will attend two meetings at Asansol and Bohula on May 2 and 3.Modi had a few days back expressed his confidence of a BJP surge across the country - including Bengal. Modi held that this time the outcome of the election won't be based on mere numbers. "People are looking beyond arithmetic this time. They are looking at a new chemistry," the BJP leader had said. On Mamata too, Modi has been categorical. Reflecting on the Mamata government's three-year tenure, Modi told a private television channel, "I believe Mamataji got enough time to bring about a turnaround in Bengal from the position where it had slid to during the Left Front regime. But there are no signs of resurgence. This upsets me. I am not angry. It's despair, not anger."
