The Trinamool Congress (TMC) will mark its July 21 Shaheed Diwas rally in Kolkata’s Dharmatala area on Sunday. The rally will see the first public address by party chairperson and Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee after the poll triumphs. Her speech will be closely watched for its messaging and symbolism for Bengal politics as well as the larger Opposition.
Meanwhile, the customary all-party meeting before a Parliament session will be held on Sunday during which the Opposition will list the topics it wants to discuss in the session and also bring up the issue of the election of Deputy Speaker. According to sources, the Congress-led Opposition would prefer to use the floor of the House to discuss unemployment, and rural distress.
