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.
