Trinamool government 3.0 completes a year; BJP holds protests

The third Trinamool Congress government on Monday completed almost a year in power and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said this day would henceforth be called ‘Ma-Mati-Manush Divas’.

‘Maa, Mati, Manush (Mother, Land, and People)‘ is the slogan of the Trinamool Congress. It was almost a year ago, on May 2, 2021 that results of the West Bengal Assembly polls were declared and the Trinamool won a convincing victory, bagging 213 of the 294 seats defeating the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which has mounted a massive electoral campaign to capture power in the State.

“I am ever grateful to our ‘Ma-Mati-Manush’ for having shown to the high and mighty, last year on this day, the indomitable courage of Bengal. Our people showed to the world that there is no bigger a power than the power of people in a democracy. Our commitment to true nation building should continue, for there are many more battles to be fought together and won together,” the Trinamool Congress chairperson said.  Ms. Banerjee has been the Chief Minister for the past 11 years since 2011 after the Trinamool in her leadership defeated the 34-year-old Left Front government.
