She held a video conference today with all the MLAs, MPs, ministers and district presidents. The district sabhadhipatis also attended the meeting. It is learnt that Miss Banerjee has instructed all her party leaders go all out against the malicious campaigns of the opposition, especially the BJP.

She reportedly instructed the leaders that all TMC leaders including block presidents and councillors should start campaigning door to door and make people aware of the proactive steps taken by the state government to combat Covid-19 and Amphan cyclone.

She also told the leaders that block presidents should try to stop the spreading of fake news in social media by the BJP. BJP is spending crores of rupees in spreading fake news, she said. She also instructed Trinamul digital cell to emphasise on social media and increase public relations by posting on social media about the development works of the state government.

“I have instructed my party not to stand by corrupt leaders,” she said. Miss Banerjee instructed her district president and sabhadhipatis that without prior approval of the state committee, the district committees cannot make any changes in the district level. No one is allowed to take unilateral decision, she added.
