Mamata to address mega TMC rally in Kolkata

July 21, 2019 12:26

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee will address Trinamool Congress's mega Martyrs' Day rally in Kolkata today.

This rally is organised by TMC every year on July 21 in the memory of the 13 youth Congress activists killed in police firing in 1993 in which lakhs of people from across the state participate.

All eyes are on Mamata Banerjee, as she may kick off campaign for West Bengal assembly elections that would be held in 2021. She is also expected to launch a campaign against the Electronic Voting Machines and a return to ballot box.

Poll strategist Prashant Kishor and his team are expected to be present at the rally to understand the mindset of the people of West Bengal before the 2021 state assembly election.

Earlier in the day, Union Minister Babul Supriyo said that Trinamool Congress will be "swept away" from West Bengal by 2021. He tweeted, "They became half in 2019 and they will be swept away by 2021."
