Kolkata/IBNS: Union Home Minister Amit Shah and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee will be in West Bengal's South 24 Parganas on Thursday in a bid to further strengthen their respective parties' organisation ahead of the state polls.

Shah, who landed in Kolkata last night, offered prayers at Bharat Sevashram Sangha and is scheduled to launch the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)'s Poribartan Yatra from Namkhana and hold a roadshow later.

He is also set to lunch with refugees' family at Narayanpur village.

The Home Minister will also visit Aurobindo Bhawan in the evening.

This is the second visit of Shah to West Bengal in less than a week's time as the BJP is eyeing on to wrest power in the state, which is ruled by Banerjee's Trinamool Congress for a decade.

On the contrary, Banerjee along with Trinamool MP from South 24 Parganas, Abhishek Banerjee, will address her party workers at Pailan in the afternoon.
