Kolkata: With the West Bengal Assembly elections due next year, the Trinamool Congress (TMC) will launch a week-long state-wide outreach programme from October 5 to 12, holding block-level Vijaya Sammilani (post-Durga Puja gatherings) across Bengal. The party leaders will also talk to the common people and know about their grievances against the different administrative layers in the state. The party supremo and the West Bengal Chief Minister, Mamata Banerjee, is seeking a fourth term as Chief Minister of West Bengal in the 2026 state assembly elections. During this, he advised party leaders and workers to reach out to the people. It is believed that the Vijaya Sammilani is Trinamool's new tool to expand the party's reach ahead of the elections.
