12 Kolkata: CM Mamata Banerjee has convened a mega Trinamool Congress meet in Kolkata on Feb 27, from where she is likely to outline the party's roadmap for the 2026 assembly polls in Bengal. Ahead of the meeting, she had a discussion with party national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee.
TMC seniors Subrata Bakshi, Firhad Hakim and Aroop Biswas — who have been tasked with the preparations — have directed all party MLAs and district functionaries to attend Thursday's meeting at Netaji Indoor Stadium.
According to information received by Trinamool functionaries, all MLAs and party office-bearers have been told to attend the Feb 27 meet. CM Banerjee is the main speaker; nothing else was specified in the missive from party brass.
The Mamata-Abhishek talk, sources said, could have a direct bearing on the possible organisational rejig, which both netas had earlier hinted at. No TMC senior was willing to speak on the meeting.
Earlier this month, CM Banerjee had asked party MLAs to submit three names each for the party's district organizational posts to state power minister Biswas. The CM had set a Feb 25 deadline for it. Abhishek had also hinted that a rejig was in the offing, adding that he had made his submissions to the CM in this regard.
Trinamool enters the 2026 assembly polls with a vice-like grip on the electorate. The party has over two-thirds majority in the state assembly after the 2021 assembly polls, bolstered by a spate of post-poll defections.
In the just-concluded 2024 Lok Sabha polls, the party reversed its 2019 Lok Sabha setbacks. Banerjee has already indicated to party legislators that Trinamool — like in 2021 assembly and 2024 Lok Sabha — will go solo in the 2026 assembly polls.
