Trinamool intensifies tea garden outreach ahead of polls
The Trinamool Congress is having small meetings with tea garden workers in North Bengal to talk about their problems and tell them about government help.
They want to win more votes in the upcoming elections.
The BJP, another political party, says workers are unhappy with Trinamool and will still support them.
Both parties think these tea garden workers are very important for winning elections.
Trinamool Congress is organizing micro-level meetings in tea gardens of Dooars to engage with workers ahead of Assembly elections.
Tea garden workers and their families influence the electoral outcome in 10-12 Assembly seats in North Bengal.
Trinamool leaders, including Abhishek Banerjee, are directly addressing workers to understand their problems and provide grievance forms.
BJP claims tea garden workers are unhappy with Trinamool due to unpaid wages and will support BJP in the elections.
Political analysts view Trinamool's move as a strategic attempt to prevent BJP from gaining ground in tea garden areas.
