With the Trinamool Congress (TMC) expected to announce its full candidate list tomorrow, Monday, all eyes are on the sitting legislators. In a bold move to demonstrate her grassroots support, Sonarpur South MLA Lovely Moitra organized a massive bike rally in her constituency today. This “show of strength” comes at a time when rumors of internal factionalism and potential changes in the candidate list for celebrity leaders are doing the rounds.

Hundreds of supporters joined the rally, cheering for the actress-turned-politician as she navigated through the busy streets of Sonarpur. Despite the reports of some local opposition to her candidacy, Moitra remained composed and avoided any direct confrontation with her critics. Addressing the media, she stated, “In our party, the decision of the top leadership—Mamata Banerjee and Abhishek Banerjee—is supreme. Whatever they decide regarding my ticket, I will accept it with full respect. I am a dedicated worker of the party.”

The rally is being seen as a strategic message to the party high command, proving that she still commands significant influence in her area. As TMC prepares for the 2026 battle with a two-phase poll strategy, the emphasis is on “winnability” and “clean image.” Whether Lovely Moitra successfully retains her ticket for Sonarpur South or a new face takes over will be revealed tomorrow afternoon when the official list is released from Kalighat. For now, the high-octane rally has certainly kept her at the center of the political spotlight.
