The TMC has been concentrating on the tea belt, gnawing steadily on BJP’s support base. The TMC-led state government has come up with a number of projects and welfare schemes aimed at the tea garden workers. 

Crèches and heath centres are being built in tea gardens. Houses are being built for tea garden workers under the Cha Shundari project. 

Landless tea garden workers are also being given land documents (Pattas.) Recently, Alipurduar MLA Suman Kanjilal had left the BJP and joined TMC in the first week of February.TMC national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee had handed over the party flag to him in Kolkata. 

With Kanjilal on his side, Banerjee would definitely try to rout the saffron brigade. Other local leaders could also cross over from the BJP to the TMC. 

Political observers claim that this meeting is of immense importance for the upcoming polls. The party has stressed on the need to give special attention to the party organisation and also giving ear to grievances of the masses.
