New Delhi: Nandigram is simmering, and the heat is being felt till Delhi. Senior BJP leader LK Advani on Friday said that he will visit Kolkata on March 17 leading a five-member NDA delegation to see the ground reality at Nandigram following the killing of 14 people in police firing.
Speaking on this, BJP state general secretary Rahul Sinha said that the NDA team soon after its arrival in the morning, would immediately leave for Nandigram by a helicopter where it would meet a cross section of people.
The team is expected to meet the members of the victims' family, besides visiting the injured in the local hospital.
The team before returning to Kolkata the same evening enroute Delhi, was likely to meet senior district police officials to get their views about the alleged unprovoked firing, Sinha said.
Sinha also urged the senior Left Front partners like RSP, Forward Bloc and CPI in the state to reconsider their decision on whether to remain in the Front anymore in the wake of Wednesday's massacre or join hands with the combined opposition in staging a well-coordinated anti-government protest to ensure an 'early exit' of the Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee government.
