Party workers and supporters mainly from Ranaghat and Kalyani sub division have been urged to turn up at the meeting, but the district leadership feels that people from the entire district will pour in to extend their support to Banerjee for the overwhelming development that the state witnessed in the past 10 years.

Party workers and supporters are eagerly waiting to listen to Banerjee at Monday's rally knowing that she will show them the direction in which they have to move ahead to ensure the win of Trinamool Congress in all 17 seats in the district.

The security arrangement has been tightened to ensure that no untoward incident takes place during the meeting. Banerjee held a meeting at the same place during her last tour to the district in February last year.

People from Matua community, who form a sizable population in Nadia, are also expected to join Banerjee's rally.

fresh certificates to establish the same.

elections.

It had lost the Ranaghat seat where Trinamool Congress had filed Rupali Biswas, the widow of MLA Sayajit Biswas who was shot dead.
