Kolkata: Within the wake of mounting assaults from the BJP and different opposition events on the Sandeshkhali concern, West Bengal’s ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) on Sunday, February 25, introduced a mega rally on the iconic Brigade Parade Floor right here on March 10 to protest alleged discrimination by the central authorities in opposition to the state’s social welfare tasks.
The rally is scheduled to be addressed by TMC supremo Mamata Banerjee and celebration’s nationwide common secretary Abhishek Banerjee, celebration sources stated.
Asserting it on X, Abhishek Banerjee stated the rally titled ‘Jana Garjan Sabha’ (roar of the lots) may even take a vow to throw out the “outdoors tormentors” from Bengal, a veiled reference to the BJP and its nationwide leaders who’ve been visiting the state on varied points.
The choice to stage the mega rally comes amid ongoing protests in Sandeshkhali by rural ladies alleging atrocities by native TMC leaders affiliated with absconding celebration strongman Sheikh Shahjahan.
The Sandeshkhali incident in West Bengal’s North 24 Parganas has gained nationwide consideration, with opposition leaders akin to Suvendu Adhikari and Sukanta Majumdar visiting the realm to have interaction with locals.
Nevertheless, the TMC has accused the BJP of trying to instigate folks and disrupt peace, particularly following the ED raid at Shahjahan’s residence in January.
The Brigade Parade Floor holds immense significance in West Bengal’s political panorama, and rallies held there garner appreciable consideration.
The final main TMC rally on the Brigade Parade Floor was on July 21, commemorating Martyrs’ Day, which honours youth Congress staff who died in police firing throughout a secretariat march within the Nineties. The CPI(M) organised the final important rally on the Brigade in January.
