Some say the yatra will help build brand Abhishek Banerjee as a leader who, apart from managing the party, tries to build grassroots contacts
Trinamool Congress national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee will start his ‘Sanjog Yatra’ for two months from April 25 in an effort to connect with the people and understand the ground situation ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections and panchayat elections.
Banerjee will visit and halt at different villages during her visit – starting from Cooch Behar and ending at Sagar Island in South 34 Parganas – and will return to Kolkata after two months.
tmc supremo Mamata Banerjee Said on Wednesday, “We are going to start ‘Sanjog Yatra’ from April 25. Abhishek Banerjee will conduct it. He will meet people and try to know their problems. Shoulder to shoulder protection shield program will continue.”
TMC sources said that taking inspiration from Rahul Gandhi’s ‘Bharat Jodo Yatra’, Abhishek Banerjee had decided to start the exercise of connecting with the people.
According to political pundits, the outreach will set the tone for the panchayat elections and next year’s Lok Sabha elections.
TMC general secretary Kunal Ghosh said, ‘Abhishek Banerjee himself took the initiative to meet the common people. Our ‘Didir Suraksha Kavach’ is also very successful, so he himself wanted to meet the common people.
Some say the yatra will also help build brand Abhishek Banerjee as the leader tries to build grassroots connections apart from managing the party. Experts say that in 2021, he has shown that he can manage a winning team but the tour will help him present himself as a man of the people.
Third, Mamata Banerjee’s decision to announce the yatra is being seen as a seal of approval that her political legacy will be handed over to her nephew. The exercise will also help counter the campaign against him that attacks him for not connecting with the common man.
While BJP’s Samik Bhattacharya said the yatra would not help the Trinamool Congress as people had already made plans to walk out, a gung-ho TMC and Abhishek Banerjee are hopeful that it will give the party the much-needed boost ahead of the crucial election battle. Will be successful in giving encouragement.
