With voting a week away, Abhishek Banerjee plans late-stage strategy meet with TMC candidates

With just a week left for the first phase of polling in West Bengal, Trinamool Congress national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee is set to hold a virtual meeting with party candidates, senior leaders, and MPs to provide final strategic guidance ahead of voting. The meeting is scheduled for Tuesday night and is expected to focus on last-minute campaign coordination.

According to party sources, candidates contesting from nearly 152 assembly constituencies may participate in the virtual interaction. The discussion is expected to include election preparedness, constituency-level strategy, and campaign messaging as the party enters the final stretch before voting begins.

Abhishek Banerjee is also expected to address recent political developments during the meeting, including the arrest of an individual linked to a political consultancy firm associated with the party’s campaign ecosystem. Party leaders may frame the issue as part of a larger political narrative in the closing days of campaigning.

Alongside the virtual meeting, Abhishek Banerjee continues an intensive campaign schedule across North Bengal, including rallies and roadshows. Party leaders have indicated that the region remains a key focus area for the first phase of elections, with top leadership actively engaging voters on the ground while also coordinating final instructions with candidates ahead of polling.
