CM Mamata to hold public meeting in Bengal's Bankura on Dec 30

CM Mamata Banerjee will address a public rally in Bankura's Barjora on Dec 30, potentially outlining TMC's strategy for the crucial 2025 Assembly elections.

"Chief Minister Banerjee may outline the poll strategy for the upcoming electoral contest from the meeting in Barjora. - Senior Trinamool Congress Leader"

Kolkata, Dec 22

As the year draws to a close, Trinamool Congress leaders and workers are busy with the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of West Bengal's voters' list.

Amid the SIR exercise, Trinamool Congress supremo and Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee is likely to hold a political programme at the end of the year.

According to sources at the State Secretariat, if all is well, Chief Minister Banerjee will hold a public meeting on December 30 at the Barjora College grounds in Bankura district.

This would be her final political rally in West Bengal this year.

However, sources in the Trinamool Congress are yet to confirm whether Mamata Banerjee will hold any administrative meetings or sessions during her upcoming visit to the Bankura district.

There is also curiosity within the Bankura district Trinamool Congress regarding the message the Chief Minister will deliver at this meeting.

According to district Trinamool Congress sources, preparations for the Chief Minister Banerjee's visit have already started.

The Bankura district Trinamool leadership is scheduled to hold a meeting on the matter later on Monday evening.

The party has set a target of a massive turnout at the rally.

It may be noted that the Barjora area falls under the Bishnupur Lok Sabha constituency.

In the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, the Trinamool Congress lost this Lok Sabha seat by a narrow margin of only 5,000 votes.

BJP's Saumitra Khan won the Bishnupur Lok Sabha seat in 2024.

Consequently, the West Bengal BJP leadership is making efforts to strengthen the party organisation further to win all the Assembly seats within that Lok Sabha constituency before the upcoming Assembly elections in the state.

It may be also noted that January 1 is the foundation day of the Trinamool Congress.

A senior Trinamool Congress leader said that this year the political significance of the party's foundation day celebrations has increased considerably due to the upcoming Assembly polls scheduled to take place next year.

According to the Trinamool leader, Chief Minister Banerjee may outline the poll strategy for the upcoming electoral contest from the meeting in Barjora.

Good to see leaders visiting districts before the new year. Hope the focus is on development issues in Bankura and not just political rhetoric. The people need concrete plans for water, roads, and jobs. 🤞

The timing is perfect! Rally on Dec 30, then party foundation day on Jan 1. It will build momentum for the 2026 assembly elections. TMC needs to reclaim Bishnupur. This meeting will set the tone for the campaign.

Interesting political strategy. Holding the final rally of the year in a constituency you narrowly lost shows confidence. But will administrative work also be done, or is it purely a political event? The article says that's unclear.

As a resident of Bengal, I respectfully feel we hear less about actual governance outcomes from these large rallies and more about political positioning. I wish the same energy was visible year-round in solving local civic issues in districts like Bankura.

The BJP shouldn't get complacent. Mamata Banerjee is a master campaigner on her home turf. Losing by a small margin means the seat is winnable. This rally will be the first major salvo for 2026. Game on! 💪
