During the organisational elections of Trinamool Congress in Kolkata on Wednesday, representatives of the party from other States were also invited to give an impression that the party has grown outside West Bengal. However, when party chairperson and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee addressed party supporters, she emphasised “charity begins at home” and said that party will have to continue to grow in the State from where it has taken birth.
Enthused with the success of the party in the West Bengal Assembly polls, the Trinamool Congress made bid to extend its influence in Goa and Tripura among other. The party started nominating leaders to Rajya Sabha who could help the party in extending footprints outside West Bengal. The nomination of Sushmita Dev and Luizinho Faleiro to Rajya Sabha was aimed to achieve this objective.
