Will be in big trouble if we don't win Hooghly: Mamata

April 05, 2021 16:42

Admitting wrongdoings by sitting TMC MLAs Tapan Majumdar and Tapan Dasgupta of Chunchura and Saptagram respectively, who have been fielded by the ruling party, Mamata Banerjee today asked voters to forgive them and give them an opportunity "as they will not do it again".

"We will be in big problem if we do not win from Hooghly district," she said.

The TMC, which had a sway over most of the 18 assembly seats in Hooghly district till the 2016 assembly polls, lost a lot of ground to the BJP in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. She claimed that the Centre has refused permission to the TMC government in the state to take over the closed Jessop and Dunlop Industries situated in Hooghly district, leaving thousands of employees of these two companies, in the lurch.
