Addressing a meeting in North Bengal, Banerjee, who has embarked upon a two-month-long Jono Sanjog Yatra (mass contact outreach) ahead of the Panchayat polls, said, “The Triinamool Congress cannot be cowed down by any rebuke or threat. “From the 2011 Assembly election onwards, the Trinamool Congress has gone on increasing its number of seats iand in 2026, the party will romp home with 240 seats, he said.
