Shah also expressed his admiration for Tagore's work, saying that his views on justice and equality shaped India's worldview.

Amit Shah also met with party leaders on Tuesday morning to review the situation in West Bengal and the preparations for upcoming elections. The Union Home Minister will inaugurate the new building of Petrapol police station and attend the program of the Border Security Force (BSF) later in the day.
