It will also counter the anti-people policies of the BJP-led Centre, which have deepened the crisis in entire Bengal.
The journey in the state will continue for 28 days
The Left, which was once strong in West Bengal, is now struggling to get seats in the state elections and is now expected to energize its cadre and reconnect with the voters through this yatra, which will create an atmosphere of a vigorous political winter ahead of the 2026 assembly elections. This yatra will run from November 29 to December 17, starting from Tufanganj in Cooch Behar district of North Bengal and ending at Kamarhati in North 24 Parganas district. It will cover a distance of 1 thousand kilometers in 11 districts and many surrounding areas. Meanwhile, CPI(M) said that this route has been designed to connect every part of Bengal which has suffered due to misgovernance.
Both governments created threat to livelihood in Bengal
The party said the rally will highlight problems ranging from declining standards of rural healthcare and schooling to the problems of farmers, migrant labourers, tea garden workers, beedi workers and those earning from the gig economy. Apart from this, CPM claimed that both the governments at their respective levels further increased the livelihood and democratic crisis in Bengal. Where TMC alleges that it has run a regime based on loot, threats and coercion. At the same time, BJP at the Center has adopted anti-people economic policies, due to which unemployment, inflation and rural poverty have become much deeper than before. CPM State Secretary Mohammad Salim, while addressing select journalists in Kolkata on Monday night, said that the objective of the Bangla Bachao Yatra will be a corrective movement in the situation in the state. Salim said that the Bengal government has made the state a story of plunder, corruption, misgovernance and deprivation.
