Former cricket star Yusuf Pathan, now a key TMC figure, rallied in Hooghly on April 23, forecasting a fourth term for Mamata Banerjee’s government. ‘Didi’s development resonates with the masses, and their trust in TMC is absolute,’ he proclaimed during a media interaction while supporting candidate Debangshu Bhattacharya.
The second phase of West Bengal elections sees intense campaigning. Pathan highlighted the region’s warmth, where diverse communities unite for festivals. He made a direct appeal: ‘Strengthen Didi by voting TMC.’
TMC’s pro-women policies were a focal point, with Pathan vowing their perpetuation under Mamata’s leadership. Addressing Murshidabad clashes, he demanded impartial inquiry and strict action against wrongdoers, underscoring that violence has no place.
On poll peacefulness, Pathan compared it favorably to national elections, crediting Bengal’s harmonious populace. For EVM issues, he pressed the EC to resolve glitches promptly, ensuring every vote counts without hassle.
Pathan’s optimism stems from public affection for TMC’s governance. As elections heat up, his star power bolsters party morale, signaling strong voter backing for continuity amid opposition challenges.
