“You don’t have to go to Delhi now. Go on the day of the Union Budget (February 1, 2026). Stay in the area for the rest of the day. Activate the war room. If necessary, the MPs will have to do this work by spending their own money. We don’t take 50% of your salary like other parties. Get out of hibernation,” Mr. Banerjee said during the virtual meeting.
The Trinamool leader said that in areas where there are no Lok Sabha MPs are not present, Rajya Sabha MPs will be sent to those areas. During his hour-long virtual address Mr. Banerjee said the Supreme Court’s interventions in the ongoing SIR was a ‘victory for Trinamool’. “The Supreme Court has accepted everything we said,” he said. The Supreme Court has directed the publication of ward-wise lists of those whose names are in the ‘logical discrepancy’ in the panchayat and municipality.
