Guwahati: Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader Abhishek Banerjee will visit Assam on Wednesday to inaugurate the party’s state headquarters in Guwahati.
According to reports, party MP Abhishek Banerjee will meet with TMC state leadership during his visit to the northeastern state.
The TMC is attempting to gain traction in Assam, and has already enlisted the help of two senior state Congress leaders, Sushmita Dev and Ripun Bora.
Former All India Mahila Congress president Sushmita Dev joined the party last year, and former APCC president Ripun Bora defected to the party last month.
The TMC is expected to run candidates in the Assam Panchayat elections next year, according to party officials.
“We intend to contest the Assam panchayat elections and run candidates in the Lok Sabha elections.” As a result, the team intends to start its propaganda two years in advance, which is why Abhishek is visiting Assam to launch the party headquarters,” a TMC leader said.
