The ruling party appointed new block and town presidents for its women, youth and worker wings in districts like Nadia, Birbhum and Basirhat (North 24 Parganas). The party also unveiled new district level committees.
“Under the inspiration and guidance of party president Mamata Banerjee, TMC is happy to announce the list of new Trinamool Congress block/city presidents,” the party said in a statement.
With a focus on consolidating minority votes and countering the BJP’s Hindutva narrative, the TMC also appointed new presidents for 35 organizational districts, including Kolkata North and South, North and South 24 Parganas and Murshidabad (Berhampur and Jiaganj), sources said.
The purpose of the appointments is to ensure closer engagement with the minority community.
“We are making changes based on the performance of leaders and workers and their connect with the public,” TMC state general secretary Kunal Ghosh told PTI. There will be more such changes in the coming days.
Apart from organizational reforms, the party has launched block-level Bijoy Sammelans – post-Durga Puja outreach programs – across the state, with over 60 such events held so far.
A party insider said around 50 ministers, MPs and MLAs have been tasked to visit different parts of the state, including BJP-held constituencies, to highlight government welfare schemes, strengthen grassroots connections and prepare cadre for booth-level work ahead of the voter list revision.
