Trinamool Congress supremo Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday reiterated the party's ambitions to make a national impact.
Mamata was speaking after she was elected unopposed as the TMC chairperson in the party's organisational election at the Netaji Indoor Stadium in Kolkata.
Mamata was quoted by ANI as saying, “In Uttar Pradesh, I am not going to contest Assembly polls but I am going to support SP chief Akhilesh Yadav on 8th Feb 2022; we (TMC) will contest from UP in Lok Sabha polls (in 2024).” Mamata is scheduled to address a virtual event with Akhilesh Yadav on February 8.
Mamata stated that the Trinamool had built a unit in Goa while, “in Tripura, my vote percentage is over 20 per cent. We've to make Bengal stronger in next 2 years, so that we get all 42 seats (in 2024 Lok Sabha polls); [we] have to chase BJP away. Uniformity will be there in TMC.” She declared she will hold her first working committee meeting in Delhi.
