Mamata Banerjee begins three-day north Bengal visit today

| @indiablooms | 15 Dec 2020, 12:28 pm

Kolkata/IBNS: In a bid to gain back the lost political ground ahead of the 2021 assembly polls, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee began her three-day north Bengal visit on Tuesday.

Banerjee, who also heads the ruling Trinamool Congress, will address her workers at Jalpaiguri on Tuesday.

The Trinamool supremo's visit to north Bengal is key as the ruling party was wiped out from the region in the 2019 General Elections, which saw an unprecedented surge of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the state politics.

Banerjee's visit is taking place at a time the Trinamool is rattled by dissents and the latest rebel leader is an MLA from Asansol, Jitendra Tiwari.

Last month, Coochbehar Dakshin MLA Mihir Goswami left the Trinamool and joined the BJP.

While Banerjee will be holding her rally in Jalpaiguri, her adversary BJP state president Dilip Ghosh will hold a rally in Malda.
