Amit Shah visited Shantiniketan, where he paid homage to Rabindranath Tagore at Rabindra Bhavan on the university campus
A part of Home Minister Amit Shah's Day 2 in West Bengal was retaliation against the "outsider" tag bestowed on the BJP by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. The former BJP chief, architect of a string of electoral victories starting with the 2014 general elections, picked Shantiniketan as the centrepiece of his Day 2 in Bengal.
Shantiniketan's Visva Bharati University was set up in 1921 by Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore, an icon of the state, and the university and its surroundings comprise one of the biggest cultural hubs of the state.
Mr Shah, whose party has been perennially targeting young voters, visited the university where he paid homage to Rabindranath Tagore at Rabindra Bhavan on the university campus.
