MALDA, 23 NOV: In an effort to expand support base, the Trinamul Congress chief Miss Mamata Banerjee is now eyeing people of the SC, ST and OBC communities. The party is also planning to restructure its SC, ST and OBC cell leadership in the state including north Bengal, sources said.
Mr Gobinda Naskar, a senior Trinamul leader and MP, who monitors the SC, ST and OBC cell in the state has appointed Mr Dulal Sarkar, former Trinamul Congress Malda district president, as general secretary of the SC, ST and OBC state committee. Following Miss Banerjee's instructions, Mr Naskar has also asked Mr Sarkar to strengthen the organisation in north Bengal.
According to Mr Sarkar, work on the subject would begin in December in north Bengal. “Although we have SC, ST and OBC cells in Malda and other districts of north Bengal, we do not have MLAs from such communities or from the ‘Matua sect'.
Incidentally, Miss Banerjee recently expressed solidarity with the Matua sect.
Mr Sarkar claimed that he recently appointed leaders at the block levels to strengthen the organisation. “We also intend to hold a conference of the SC, ST and OBC people in Malda in January,” a party member said.
