Mamata Banerjee Rolls Out ‘10 Protigya’ Ahead of Bengal Poll Battle

TMC manifesto includes 10 pledges such as Rs 1,500 monthly support for 80 lakh unemployed youth and increased benefits for 2.4 crore women under Lakshmir Bhandar.

  • On Friday, Mamata Banerjee released the Trinamool Congress manifesto at a Kolkata press conference, listing 10 pledges to develop the state ahead of the two-phase West Bengal assembly polls.
  • Accusing the Centre, Mamata Banerjee argued the pledges respond to alleged BJP-led interference, saying 'We see a lot of conspiracies during elections, but this time they've crossed all limits' and accused it of plotting citizenship snatching via Census and NRC.
  • On welfare, TMC pledged Lakshmir Bhandar with a 500 increase, continuing payments of 1,500 for women and attracting 80 lakh applicants under Yuva-Sathi.
  • The manifesto pledges administrative reorganisation with seven new districts and expanded Urban Local Bodies, plus world-class logistics, ports, and a Global Trade Centre to boost Bengal's economy.
  • Under social guarantees, TMC promises annual Duare Chikitsa health camps in every block and town, pucca houses, piped drinking water for every family, and uninterrupted old-age pension support expanding to all eligible seniors.
