GUWAHATI: Trinamool Congress (TMC) national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee will visit Assam on May 11.
According to sources, he will visit the State to open a party office in Guwahati and meet with the leaders of north-eastern state units as the ruling party of West Bengal gears up to expand its footprint in the north-eastern states. Banerjee will hold meetings with the newly-appointed state president of the party in Assam, Ripun Bora and Trinamool Congress Rajya Sabha member Sushmita Dev to identify those Lok Sabha seats in Barak Valley, Cachar and Silchar where the Trinamool Congress can field candidates and hope for positive results. Both Dev and Bora have joined the Trinamool Congress after ending their long association with the Congress.
