In view of 2026 Assembly election Trinamul Congress is leaving no stone unturned to ensure victory of the candidates and increase the number of seats. Abhishek Banerjee has said over and again that the BJP will not get more than 50 seats.

Trinamul Congress chairperson Mamata Banerjee has already addressed party leaders and workers at the Netaji Indoor stadium and urged them to pull up their socks and work sincerely for the party.

Mr Banerjee will give a roadmap which the party leaders and workers need to follow to make people aware of the development work the state government has carried out in the past 15 years. Trinamul Congress has brought out a booklet titled Unnayaner Panchali. Well-known vocal artists have sung the development work contained in the booklet in the form of folklore.

It was learnt that Mr Banerjee will ask the BLAs to take up the hearing of the voters by the Election Commission of India due to the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) seriously. Trinamul Congress will ensure that names of the genuine voters are dropped from the electoral roll. Because of delimitation after 2002, the area of some Assembly constituencies have changed and new constituencies have come up. Earlier, Bhowanipur which is the constituency of Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, was a part of Chowringhee Assembly seat. Now, Bhowanipur has come up as a separate constituency. The names of many present electors, who were not voters in 2002, have faced problems due to the SIR.

Mr Banerjee has said emphasised that he was not against SIR but did not like the way it is being carried out in haste. The party workers will visit every household across the state to ensure that the names of the deceased have been deleted from the list along with those who have left the area and ensure that the final list contains names of the genuine voters.
