Kolkata:
Trinamool Congress will organize a massive rally at the Brigade Parade Ground in Kolkata on March 10. The Jan Garjana Sabha was announced in South Bengal amid a major political storm in the state over allegations of land theft and sexual exploitation against a local party leader. Message empty.
The party’s decision comes after BJP planned to organize back-to-back rallies of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the state on March 1, 2 and 6.
PM Modi will hold rallies in Arambag in Hooghly district on March 1, Krishnanagar in Nadia district on March 2 and Barasat in North 24 Parganas district on March 6. Sandeshkhali is situated on the southern edge of North 24 Parganas.
“Mamata Banerjee will be the keynote speaker on March 10.”
Trinamool national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee told reporters. He said, “On March 10, it will be only a teaser. The film will be shown during voting.”
Abhishek Banerjee said, “Whoever wants to join is welcome to support the people’s cause, but we are not specifically approaching anyone for the rally.”
“This Jan Garjana rally is to highlight the plight of the people as the Center has stopped people’s money. More than 730 days have passed since the BJP government at the Center has stopped all the funds,” he alleged.
Kolkata’s Brigade Parade Ground has hosted some of the biggest political rallies in the history of Indian and Bengali politics.
In its heyday, CPM used to organize massive political rallies on the ground. Holding a rally on the spot is seen as a show of strength for any political party.
At the beginning of the election campaign in 2021, PM Modi held a huge rally at the Brigade Parade Ground as a show of strength.
The Trinamool Congress rally will highlight the party’s allegations that the Center is denying Bengal its due rights under the MNREGA scheme, PMAY (Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana), rural road schemes and the National Health Mission.
The rally will also focus on what constitutes action against the highhandedness of outsiders.
Mr Banerjee shared a poster with the caption “Khela Hobe” announcing the rally.
“Khela Hobe”, meaning “Game on” was taken from the popular campaign song of Trinamool Congress ahead of the 2021 state elections.
