Prime Minister Narendra Modi experienced a two-hour delay due to inclement weather as he arrived in West Bengal to commence his election campaign rallies.

Heavy rainfall in southern Bengal, including Kolkata, resulted in a sludge-filled helipad in Haldia, contributing to the delay. Weather conditions are expected to improve as per the meteorological department.

The delay is anticipated to disrupt the schedule for Modi's subsequent rallies in Asansol and Suri, key regions for BJP's influence, led by Suvendu Adhikari. The campaign is pivotal in challenging the TMC's hold.
