PM Modi, HM Shah likely to skip Bengal's Mahalaya event
Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah are likely to skip West Bengal government's mega Mahalaya event at Kolkata's Eden Gardens on October 10, sources said. CM Suvendu Adhikari had earlier said Modi would attend. Amid political turmoil in Delhi over CEC Gyanesh Kumar protests, neither leader is expected to attend, though Shah may visit Kolkata later to inaugurate Durga Pujas. Governor R.N. Ravi and state ministers are expected to attend instead.
