Mamata begins party evaluation before next year's poll

Ahead of next year's assembly polls in West Bengal, Trinamool Congress supremo and Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee today started district-wise evaluation of the party organisation.
In the first meeting which was held with West Midnapore unit, Banerjee reviewed the organisational strength of the party in the district and asked its leaders not to be provoked by the Jathas of CPI(M).
She asked them to speak to the people about the developmental work carried out by TMC government in the last four and half years in Junglemahal, which was once the hotbed of Maoists, according to senior TMC leaders.
From now on Banerjee will conduct meetings and evaluation of organisational strength in every district every week, they said.

"Our leader Mamata Banerjee has told us not to step into any kind of provocation by CPI(M) leadership. We will do counter rallies to publicise the developmental work that we have done in last four and the half year. We will carry out door-to door campaigns in each and every part of the district," a senior TMC leader of West Midnapore district said after the meeting on condition of anonymity.
The instruction comes at a point when TMC and CPI(M) are engaged in a war of words over the Left party accusing the ruling party of attacking its Jathas and TMC accusing it of trying to capture villages in the guise of taking out rallies.
