Senior Trinamul Congress leaders said the date and venue of the meetings, addressed by Miss Banerjee and Abhishek, has not yet been fixed. They said there will be both road shows and meetings. Though winning or losing the seat will not affect Trinamul Congress, the party does not want to take any risks and test its strength in the Rajbangshi belt before 2024 Lok Sabha election
