After she became the Chief Minister of West Bengal it was her very first campaign in Assam. The reason behind her absence was the death of former Union Minister and Congress leader Santosh Mohan Dev.

Out of 14 Lok Sabha seats in Assam this year TMC is contesting in four of them and today Mamata Banerjee campaigned for the party’s candidate in Silchar.

She said that this is just a trailer, TMC will contest all of the seats in Assam in the 2026 assembly election and if they come into power, they’ll remove the National Register of Citizens (NRC), won’t allow the Uniform Civil Code and Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) here.

Mamata assured that TMC will solve the Doubtful Voter issue in Assam.

“Prime Minister of India has created this fear of detention camps in Assam and their ultimate goal is to turn the entire nation to a detention camp, where people always have to live with this fear,” she said.

Mentioning the violence in Manipur, Mamata Banerjee said that over 200 churches were burned, women were paraded naked on the streets, and mothers and daughters of the neighbouring state are still crying for help but Modi failed as a Prime Minister did absolutely nothing for them and people are still expecting that Modi will give them justice.
