Last month, the Trinamool Congress announced a March 10 rally at the Brigade Parade Grounds, its first in five years, to protest the Centre's funding blockade of Bengal. According to TMC general secretary Abhishek Banerjee, the protest, themed 'Jana Garjan Sabha' ('Roar of the Masses'), will try to expel "outside tormentors" from Bengal, indirectly referring to prominent BJP officials.
