The ruling Trinamool Congress has launched its campaign at full throttle for the next year\u2019s Assembly elections, state Education Minister and TMC Secretary General Partha Chatterjee announced on Saturday. The campaign in all the 294 Assembly constituencies will counter the BJP<\/a>\u2019s \u201canti-government propaganda\u201d, he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cYesterday, our party chief Mamata Banerjee<\/a> ordered us to campaign against the canards being spread by BJP,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The Assembly elections are scheduled to be held in May next year.<\/p>\n

\u201cMamata Banerjee is the only Chief Minister who hit the streets to fight against coronavirus<\/a> pandemic<\/a>. Despite this, the BJP is continuously maligning our government and circulating fake news on social media platforms. So, we have decided to counter this campaign. We will also strengthen our social media wing to counter BJP\u2019s false propaganda,\u201d Chatterjee said.<\/p>\n

The chief minister on Friday had started laying the ground for the Assembly poll campaign, urging party leaders across the state to counter BJP\u2019s criticism of the TMC government.<\/p>\n

The Covid-19<\/a> outbreak and cyclone Amphan<\/a> have changed the situation in this state.<\/p>\n

According to a TMC source, the full-fledged poll campaign will only start next year, when the party will get just four months. So, it wants to intensify its campaign during the partial lockdown situation.<\/p>\n
