Kolkata, Feb 3 (NationPress) The leadership of West Bengal's ruling Trinamool Congress has selected two images of the party leader and Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee to be utilized in various party events, including organizational meetings and public gatherings.
One image features the Chief Minister's cheerful face superimposed, while the other depicts a beaming Banerjee with her hands folded in a gesture of greeting.
This decision comes just three weeks ahead of the extended organizational meeting aimed at planning the party’s strategy for the pivotal Assembly elections in 2026. The tentative date for this meeting is set for February 26 or the following day, to be held at the Netaji Indoor Stadium in central Kolkata.
The party's decision has been communicated to all elected legislators through their WhatsApp group titled 'West Bengal Legislative Assembly Members.'
According to party insiders, legislators are encouraged to utilize either or both of the selected images at party events within their respective assembly regions.
Typically, such an organizational meeting occurs in the first quarter of the year. However, this year’s meeting is expected to hold special importance given the significant Assembly elections approaching next year.
Insiders suggest that during this meeting, the Chief Minister may reveal strategies to counter the negative narratives propagated by opposition parties and highlight the various social welfare initiatives launched by the state government to connect with the general populace.
Political analysts believe that this extended organizational meeting is particularly critical, especially with an anticipated organizational reshuffle within the Trinamool Congress expected to occur in the same month, indicating that Banerjee will have the final authority over all aspects of the restructuring.
