In a significant announcement today, the All India Trinamool Congress (AITMC) revealed the candidature of four members for the upcoming Rajya Sabha elections. Among them is Silchar's own Sushmita Dev, a former Member of Parliament.

The AITMC's official handle extended heartfelt wishes, expressing hope for the continued legacy of the party's indomitable spirit and advocacy for the rights of every Indian.

Reacting to her nomination, Sushmita Dev expressed gratitude towards Mamata Banerjee, the Chief Minister of West Bengal, and the AITMC, particularly Abhishek Banerjee.

Dev, who previously served as Silchar MP, sees this opportunity as a historic moment for the Northeast, being appointed to the Rajya Sabha for the second time.

She commended Mamata Banerjee's commitment to Northeast India, highlighting the noteworthy allocation of three out of four candidatures to women, showcasing the party's dedication to women empowerment in Indian politics.

While acknowledging her involvement in Bengal politics, Dev assured the people of Silchar that she remains available and committed to their concerns.

On the question of her participation in the General Elections to the Lok Sabha, she emphasized that decisions in this regard would be made in consultation with Mamata Banerjee and the party leadership.

Dev is set to attend a meeting involving the State President, Ripun Bora, to further clarify her role and responsibilities.

"I will go to Kolkata and figure out the new dynamics. I will play the role that the party plans for me," concluded Dev.
