The Tripura unit of the Trinamool Congress on Friday announced a 132-member committee for the state, which goes to polls in March 2023.
Former Bengal MLA Rajiv Banerjee will continue to be the state in-charge of Tripura, while Subal Bhowmik has been appointed as the state president.
The six-member core committee comprises Sushmita Dev, Ashish Das, Bhriguram Reang, Ashish Lal Singh, Maman Khan and Bhowmik.
The constitution of the state committee follows the principles of TMC. The committee consists of 27 women members to address the women-centric issues of the state. The party has also included 16 members of Scheduled Castes, 18 members of Scheduled Tribes and 32 representatives of OBC groups.
Trinamool’s newly formed committee for Tripura also includes 14 representatives from the Muslim community.
The 132-member body has eight vice-presidents, five general secretaries, 14 secretaries, seven joint secretaries and 72 executive members.
An announcement was also made on Friday to form the Trinamool Youth Congress, which is headed by TMYC state president Shantanu Saha. The women’s organization is headed by state president Mahila Panna Deb. TMC also announced Tripura SC cell and ST cell headed by Sanjay Kumar Das and Malin Jamatia respectively.
After consolidating its position in Bengal, the Trinamool Congress (TMC) has set its eyes on the Northeast ahead of elections in Meghalaya, Tripura and Nagaland next year.
Mamata Banerjee’s party had claimed last year that the TMC would form the government in the state after the 2023 assembly elections. TMC emerged as the second largest party in the prestigious Agartala Municipal Corporation (AMC) elections.
