Trinamul Congress national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee was alongside party chairperson Mamata Banerjee when she announced the party’s manifesto on Friday.
Expressing his views on the manifesto and the promises the TMC made for the people of the state, Abhishek wrote in his X handle: “Bengal has always led with conviction, knowing the way, going the way and showing the way. Smt. @MamataOfficial’s 10 ‘Protigya’ reflect this very ethos, deeply rooted in the lived realities, needs and aspirations of our people.
“From empowering women, youth, farmers and senior citizens with dignity and opportunity, to ensuring a pucca home and piped water for every household; from taking healthcare to the doorstep through Duare Chikitsa to upgrading Government schools with modern infrastructure, this is a vision that seamlessly blends compassion with ambition.
“Coupled with a renewed push for industrial growth and stronger administrative efficiency, it charts a future that is both progressive and inclusive. This vision is born not out of abstraction, but from constant engagement with the people. It is now our collective responsibility to translate these commitments into reality by strengthening the hands that have tirelessly worked for Bengal’s welfare.”
One of the highlights of the TMC’s promises is ‘Duare Chikitsa’, which will allow people to have medical attention at the doorstep. Abhishek, who has been one of the spearheads of the party’s campaign against the BJP, had been running Sebaashray camps in Diamond harbour over the past couple of years, which also had been providing doorstep medical attention. The model was also replicated in other constituencies by party’s leaders.
