West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee is set to lead a one-day sit-in protest at Kolkata's Rani Rashmoni Avenue on June 2, responding to allegations of post-poll violence. The Trinamool Congress (TMC) has applied for police permission, though approval is still pending. Senior party leaders are expected to attend the protest before Mamata joins around noon.
Abhishek Banerjee to Visit Nanoor
Meanwhile, TMC national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee will visit Nanoor in Birbhum district to meet alleged victims of post-poll violence and offer support. The twin programmes are being viewed as an important political move for the Trinamool Congress, signaling the party's focus on addressing grievances and mobilizing support.
Political Significance
The protest is seen as a strategic effort by the TMC to highlight claims of violence and pressure the state administration. Mamata Banerjee's direct involvement underscores the party's commitment to its narrative of post-election unrest. The events are closely watched as they could influence political dynamics ahead of upcoming elections.
