Now, Rahul Gandhi's Pujo Outreach In Bengal Ahead Of 2019 Polls | Read
Durga Puja in West Bengal begins on 16 October. On the 17th, one puja pandal in Kolkata will have a VIP visitor -- Congress president Rahul Gandhi. He will do what all Bengalis do on that day -- offer "Anjali" or floral tributes to the Goddess Durga. Anjali on Ashtami or the second and main day of Durga Puja is believed to be the most propitious. While the Congress is yet to announce the visit, its new Bengal chief Somen Mitra has confirmed it. At first, he named the Santosh Mitra Square puja pandal.
