On TMC anniversary, Mamata Banerjee vows to strengthen federal structure

Kolkata, January 1

West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee, while congratulated TMC workers on the party’s foundation day, today vowed to strengthen the federal structure of the country.

This could be aimed at bringing together various regional parties for a united fight against the BJP in 2024 under her stewardship.

Increasing footprint

• The TMC has been buoyant after its stunning victory in Assembly polls last year
• It is now trying to increase its footprint across the nation
• The party has made inroads in BJP-ruled Goa and Tripura

“I extend my best wishes to our workers, supporters and members of the Maa-Mati-Manush family. Our journey began on January 1, 1998, and since then we have been committed in our efforts towards serving people,” she tweeted.

“As we step into yet another year, ...let us work towards strengthening the federal structure of this nation,” she wrote on the microblogging site. Dilip Ghosh, BJP’s vice-president, ridiculing the TMC, said: “TMC’s track record of protecting democratic values is abysmal.” —TNS
