TMC’s virtual meet on Monday to set roadmap for party in coming days
The Statesman | 22 November 2025
The Trinamul Congress has convened a virtual organisational meeting on Monday to discuss the party’s strategies regarding the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) by the Election Commission of India (ECI) in West Bengal.
The meeting will be chaired by Trinamul Congress’ national general secretary and the party’s leader in Lok Sabha Abhishek Banerjee. At the virtual meet Abhishek is likely to set the roadmap for the next course of action, said a source.
All elected party parliamentarians and legislators, members of the state Cabinet, heads of municipal bodies, district presidents, and chairmen of the party as well as the mass organisations affiliated to the Trinamul, have been asked to attend the meeting. Around 10,000 party workers are supposed to attend the virtual meeting.
A source, privy to the developments, said that there are many areas in the districts which need improvement and Abhishek is likely to address that. The party should focus that no names are left out in the list. The meeting will also focus on Matua areas and a few north Bengal districts.
“Besides discussing the party’s strategy on the SIR, the performance of the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha members and legislators as elected public representatives might also be reviewed at the meeting on Monday,” said a member of the West Bengal Cabinet, who refused to be named.
He also said that events of infighting within the party reported from some districts might also be discussed at the meeting on Monday, and the party’s general secretary is expected to issue a strong note of caution to those district-level leaders engaged in or encouraging the infighting.
It is learnt that in the meeting, the party’s general secretary is expected to set guidelines for conducting protest movements in districts over the suicide and suicide attempts out of the SIR scare, or events of Booth-Level Officers (BLOs) either dying or falling sick because of the revision exercise workload.
