Ahead of the panchayat elections in West Bengal next year, ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) and principal opposition BJP are taking the battle to each other’s doorsteps – literally.
While the TMC’s national General Secretary and Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s nephew Abhishek Banerjee will be holding a rally in Contai today, Leader of the Opposition Suvendu Adhikari will be addressing a rally in Diamond Harbour almost around the same time.
Contai is considered to be the ‘home’ turf of BJP leader Mr Adhikari, while Mr Banerjee is the sitting Lok Sabha member from the Diamond Harbour constituency.
