Following a significant electoral setback, Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader Mamata Banerjee has called on the party's candidates to strengthen the organization. She urged unity and rebuilding during a meeting at her Kalighat residence.

Despite losing a substantial number of assembly seats, Banerjee expressed confidence that the TMC would rise again. She invited those wishing to leave the party to do so freely, emphasizing that Trinamool Congress will not capitulate under pressure.

The meeting aimed to bolster the morale of those who had contested the elections, as internal discontent and potential defections loom after the electoral defeat. Banerjee reassured attendees of the party's unwavering commitment, labeling the election results as a 'stolen mandate.'
