New Delhi, April 12 (IANS). Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address a massive ‘Vijay Sankalp Sabha’ in Siliguri, West Bengal at 1 pm on Sunday. This public meeting is considered important for the two-phase assembly elections to be held at the end of this month.

A huge crowd of supporters had gathered to get a glimpse of the leader, due to which the atmosphere was filled with excitement.
Initially, Prime Minister Modi was seen greeting the crowd sitting in front of his car next to the driver. Later, he leaned out of the car window and greeted his supporters, holding the BJP election symbol lotus in his hands. The Prime Minister’s direct address further energized the crowd, making the slogans even louder and more enthusiastic.
