Chief minister Mamata Banerjee today left for Junglemahal on a three-day tour. She is supposed to lay the foundation stone and inaugurate various government developmental projects in the three districts of Bankura, Purulia and Jhargram.
A source in the know claimed that the chief minister is likely to inaugurate projects worth Rs 2,500cr in the three districts in the Junglemahal. With as many as four Lok Sabha seats in the region, the ruling Trinamul Congress is targeting the tribal voters ahead of the general elections.
Sources at Nabanna claimed that in Purulia she is likely to unveil many government projects. In the 2021 Assembly polls, the ruling party had managed to reclaim some of the lost ground in the region, which had voted for the BJP in the last LS polls in 2019.
