Trinamool Congress to hold rallies in all blocks of West Bengal

KOLKATA: In a bid to counter Left Front's rally from Singur to Salboni, Trinamool Congress leadership has decided to conduct rallies in all blocks of West Bengal from January 25 to 28.

"We have decided to conduct rallies in each and every block of West Bengal from January 25 to 28. In those rallies, we will tell people about the achievements of the four-and-a-half-year-old TMC government in the state. We will tell about the peace process in Junglemahal, the peace process in Darjeeling," a senior TMC leader said.

"All the district presidents have been communicated in this matter. Our workers will carry placards which will have list of developmental work that our government has done," he said.

According to TMC sources, the rally is a counter political move against CPI(M)-led Left Front's week-long procession from Singur to Salboni with a demand for industrialisation in the state and jobs for the unemployed youth.

CPI-M Polit Buro member Surya Kanta Mishra and party's state secretary had indicated that industrialisation of the state would be a big issue in the coming assembly poll and asked party cadres to reach out to the masses and tell them of the "grim picture" in connection with it in the state.
