The Trinamool Congress (TMC) or the All India Trinamool Congress (AITMC) is a political party based in the eastern Indian state of West Bengal. It was founded by Mamata Banerjee in 1998 after she split from the Indian National Congress.
The party came to power in the state with Mamata Banerjee as the CM in 2011, defeating the Left Front in the Assembly elections and marking the end of the longest democratically elected Communist government in the world.
The Trinamool Congress led by Mamata Banerjee used the 2006-07 protests against the Left Front government over Nandigram and Singur to rally supporters and popularity in Bengal. It joined hands with the Congress in the state for the 2009 Lok Sabha elections and won 19 seats, thus joining the Manmohan Singh government at the Centre. Two years later, it ended the Left’s 34-year rule in Bengal. Earlier, though, the Trinamool had also aligned with the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance in 1999, when Mamata Banerjee was made Railways Minister.
Besides dominating Bengal, the Trinamool Congress has also contested elections in Assam, Tripura, Meghalaya, and Goa. The party is one of the strong opposition voices in the Union parliament.
All Secular Moves right? Shekar Waht Say you? You are Mamata Fan Boy right? Would like to see a National Interest on this one. The intellectual dishonesty is very clear when Opinions on paying religious priests money gives it s a big thumbs up…. As they say there has been no uproar that this is not a SECULAR policy. So when BJP and RSS do what they do, just shut up.
I don’t know why BJP has a problem when Government is again supporting the poor priests. The wb govt is pro-ALL.
Is BJP jealous or they are scared that they would loose the communal ground created by BJP, RSS, Vhp, Hindu javran manch.
There is a difference between hinduphobic and Hindutva bhagwa phobia.
Government already provides many facilities and sops to durga puja pandals and committees.
Government extend support to chatt puja.
Thank you The Print, The Hindu, Indian Express, The Telegraph, The Wire, The Quint, Scroll In etc. By your continuous Hinduphobic rants, you have ended up in consolidating middle of the road Hindus to the right.
If govt does anything to Hindus that is communal and destroying secularism and playing in BJP hands but when similar schemes were extended to Muslims it was fine , absolutely correct and secular . This mind set sucks . Print you are completely biased against Hindus to the extent of stinking . Any way your such biased views has made us what we are now ROCK SOLID HINDUS .
Keep peddling your filthy narrative to it will help grow BJP like never a party did in history.
Keep destroying the nation . without food and money what religion only can do
I want to see
Get lost , devil worshiper .
