Mamata asks TMC leaders not to issue embarrassing statements

Ahead of Assembly polls in West Bengal slated for later this year, Trinamool Congress supremo Mamata Banerjee today directed the leaders to refrain from making statements which could embarrass the party.
"Our leader Mamata Banerjee has asked us not to make any statement which could embarrass the party," a senior TMC leader said on condition of anonymity.
She gave this direction while holding an organisational meeting with leaders of Birbhum district.
Trinamool's Birbhum district president Anubrata Mondal has time and again courted controversy by making statements that had embarrassed the party leadership.

"I have come to Birpara often in the past. I love this place. I love coming to North Bengal in general. We have showered our love on the people of the Hills. In the past no government worked for the Hills so much," Banerjee said.

Pointing out that her government created the district of Alipurduar for better development, Banerjee said that her government fulfilled long-standing demand of the area.

"From ITIs, polytechnic colleges to fair price shops and Kisan Mandis, we are working for all-round development," she said.
"We took over Dunlop and Jessop because we care for the welfare of workers. We will not allow innocent workers and labourers to suffer because of the Central government," she said.
Stating that her government was working for the welfare of tea garden workers, Banerjee explained the benefits her government offered to tea garden workers.
