: Trinamool Congress (TMC) supremo Mamata Banerjee on Monday said it is committed to work for the farmers and the poor, and will support any political party making efforts in the same direction.
Banerjee, also the chief minister of West Bengal, said the TMC would fight in every corner of the country for the development of the masses, if the people give them an opportunity.
"On the eve of the party's foundation day, I can assure you that as long as I am alive, as long as TMC is alive, we will work for the farmers, the poor and the workers. We will fight to protect our sisters and mothers," she said in Hindi in an audio-visual message.
"The TMC is a poor party. We are not a rich party like the BJP. But, our party symbol symbolises human approach," she said. Banerjee urged all opposition parties to fight together for the welfare of people and "any political party which would work for their development, we would support them".
"In the unorganised sector, the condition of workers is bad after demonetisation. The agricultural sector is in distress, and the democracy is under threat. They (the BJP) don't accept the Constitution," she alleged.
