Panchayat elections are near now. Therefore, an intense discussion has started within the Trinamool Congress regarding who will get the ticket and who will not. Party’s All India General Secretary Abhishek Banerjee said in a few public meetings that no one can become a candidate by taking Dada’s water bottle or being a devotee of Dada. A person’s certificate is necessary to be a candidate in the Panchayat. As the people of the area want to see the candidate, the nomination of the candidate will be done. Now the work of selection of the candidate has started in this formula.
What other arrangements have been made? Abhishek has also given a mobile number to give feedback regarding the selection of candidates for the panchayat elections. Who are the faces of Trinamool Congress at the village level? Whose fate is being torn apart by the Panchayat ticket? Intensive practice has begun on these questions. The Trinamool Congress wants to field a clean image candidate in the panchayat elections, on whom the people of the area can fully trust.
Why has such a discussion started? The state is now in the mood for panchayat elections. Therefore, the activities to decide the party candidate have started. This is when the hair-raising analysis is being done at the candidate selection stage. Trinamool Congress has already taken Didi’s Suraksha Kavach programme. Didi’s messengers are establishing intensive public relations with the common people by going to the Gram Panchayat areas. However, the results of the Sagardighi bypoll have forced the Gussful camp to think again. That’s why the selection of candidates for the upcoming Panchayat elections has started.
So who will be the candidate Trinamool Congress has already taken strict action against Panchayat heads in many districts of the state. The panchayat heads who have been accused of corruption have been removed from their posts. So Trinamool Congress has made it clear that there is no compromise with corruption. The selection of the candidates has started after taking opinion from the blocks and zones. A list is prepared and sent to the top leadership of the team. Then the final decision will be taken by Mamta Banerjee, Abhishek Banerjee. Two-three things are given utmost importance in the selection of the candidates. One, finding people who know the people of the area. Two, have a transparent image that can work with people all year round. Three, identify people who won last time but later lost popularity. The person who will suffer ‘loss of popularity’ will not get the ticket. However, many constituencies will be fielded to take forward the young generation and women in the Panchayat elections.
