He has made it clear that no muscle flexing by party leaders or workers in the ensuing panchayat election will be allowed and the people will decide who will be the candidate. He has requested party leaders more than once to work and not to think about the candidates.
Senior Trinamul leaders said the party’s target was not the panchayat election but the Lok Sabha polls. “We want to see our strengths and weaknesses. The weaknesses will be repaired.
People by and large still have faith in Mamata Banerjee and we want to listen to their grievances,” they said. Trinamul will organize meetings to make people aware of the schemes and how they have benefitted them.
