Congress Vows to Remain Vocal Against Ruling Parties in West Bengal
Newly appointed West Bengal Pradesh Congress (WBPCC) president Subhankar Sarkar has made it clear that his party will not shy away from raising its voice against the ruling parties both at the Centre and in the state. Speaking at a press conference at the party’s state headquarters, Sarkar emphasized the Congress’s commitment to holding the government accountable and advocating for the interests of the people.
Acknowledging the organizational weaknesses of the Congress in West Bengal, Sarkar outlined his plans to collaborate with former PCC presidents Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury and Pradip Bhattacharya to strengthen the party’s presence in the state. He highlighted the importance of building a robust foundation to effectively challenge the ruling dispensations in upcoming elections.
Sarkar reaffirmed the Congress’s stance on supporting constructive initiatives, such as industrial development, while remaining critical of any policies or actions that may harm the welfare of the people. He stressed the party’s dedication to addressing issues like corruption and ensuring a safe and secure environment for all residents of West Bengal.
In a bid to connect with the electorate and address their concerns, Sarkar announced plans for Congress workers to engage with the public following the Durga Puja festivities. This outreach effort aims to gather feedback from the community and identify areas where the party can make a meaningful impact.
Looking ahead to the state’s upcoming assembly elections in 2026, Sarkar expressed confidence in the Congress’s ability to resonate with voters and offer a viable alternative to the incumbent government. Despite the challenges faced in previous electoral alliances, Sarkar remained optimistic about the party’s prospects and its role in shaping the political landscape of West Bengal.
While fielding questions about potential alliances with other political parties, Sarkar reiterated his focus on strengthening the Congress’s internal structure and expanding its reach across the state. He emphasized the need to build a cohesive and united front within the party to effectively challenge the ruling Trinamool Congress and other opposition forces.
Drawing inspiration from party leader Rahul Gandhi, Sarkar underscored the importance of fearlessly advocating for the people’s interests and standing up against injustice. He emphasized the Congress’s commitment to upholding democratic values and championing the rights of all citizens, regardless of their background or beliefs.
As West Bengal grapples with recent incidents of violence and natural disasters, Sarkar pledged to visit district offices and engage with party leaders and supporters to address pressing issues and offer assistance where needed. He acknowledged the challenges facing the state and reaffirmed the Congress’s dedication to serving the people and improving their quality of life.
In conclusion, Subhankar Sarkar’s leadership marks a new chapter for the West Bengal Pradesh Congress as it embarks on a journey to revitalize the party’s presence and amplify its voice in the political arena. With a renewed focus on grassroots engagement and principled advocacy, the Congress aims to emerge as a strong and credible alternative for voters seeking positive change and inclusive governance in the state.
