While addressing the rally at Brigade Parade Ground in Kolkata, CM Mamata Banerjee claimed that the Election Commissioner Arun Goel, who resigned from his post, did so because of Bengal, and stated: "We salute the EC who resigned."

Trinamool Congress on Sunday launched its Lok Sabha election campaign with a massive rally at Brigade Parade Ground in Kolkata, where lakhs of supporters from different districts particpated to show their support to party supremo Mamata Banerjee, also known as 'Didi'.

TMC general secretary Abhishek Banerjee attacked the Centre and claimed, "Modi ki guarantee has zero warranty" while addressing the party's rally at the Brigade Parade venue on Sunday.

He referred the BJP leaders as "outsiders and anti-Bengal" who only visited the state during elections. The TMC MP further asserted that the ED and CBI searches "will not produce any results because they will not be participating in the elections."

In a break from traditional rally layouts, the Trinamool Congress has chosen ramps to allow for closer interaction between leaders and followers during speeches. The three major stages, linked by ramps, aim to increase involvement and connect with the grassroots.

The TMC's mega rally at Maidan, also known as Brigade Parade Grounds, a historic site originally established as a parade ground during the British colonial era, is significant because it is the party's first large-scale gathering at Maidan since the January 2019 opposition meeting, when leaders from 19 opposition parties came together in a show of solidarity.
