Pertinently, the West Bengal panchayat elections are scheduled later this year. The ruling Trinamool Congress on January 2 launched a new campaign "Didir Suraksha Kavach", an outreach programme to reach out to the people to strengthen the prospects of the party.
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee launched the programme in the presence of TMC national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee and state president Subrata Bakshi. As per reports, the campaign programme is starting on January 11 and will continue for 60 days. The TMC party workers will reach out to the people across the state and advertise government schemes.
As per a TMC spokesperson, the programme will have two components. One, "Anchale/Nagare Ek Din", where leaders will reach out to every GP/ULB. Later, through a door-to-door outreach "Didir Doots" (Didi's messengers) will spread awareness about Suraksha Kawach, the spokesperson said.
