Abhishek Banerjee \u2013 Trinamool Congress national general secretary \u2013 is visiting Tripura on Monday. But even before Banerjee reached the Northeastern state, Trinamool Congress banners and hoardings were found torn, leading to a tense situation. The hoardings and banners contained not only Abhishek Banerjee\u2019s photographs, but also Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee\u2019s pictures.<\/p>\n
Trinamool Congress has alleged that the posters and banners were damaged by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). It was alleged that the hoardings and banners along the road to the airport were damaged at night.<\/p>\n
Abhishek Banerjee is scheduled to reach Tripura\u2019s Tripureshwari temple from the airport, and later, he will hold a press conference at 3 pm. Other senior leaders of the party have reached Tripura already, including Bratya Basu, Ritobrata Bandopadyay, Moloy Ghatak, Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar, among others. \u00a0Last week, some members of Prashant Kishor\u2019s I-PAC team \u2013 which is working for Trinamool Congress as the party’s poll strategist \u2013 were not allowed to step out of a hotel in Agartala. The ruling government was blamed by the Trinamool for this. Police had even called the I-PAC staff for questioning.<\/p>\n
Trinamool Congress has been increasing its political activities in Tripura. Last week, a former minister and several MLAs have joined the Trinamool Congress. Under this backdrop, the visit of Abhishek Banerjee \u2013 who is now the party\u2019s national general secretary \u2013 is being seen as politically significant.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
