Kolkata, 13 May (H.S.) : Mamata Banerjee has reportedly advised the All India Trinamool Congress to reorganise and strengthen its IT cell with renewed focus after analysing the lessons from the 2026 Assembly elections.

A key meeting involving members of the party’s IT cell was held at Kalighat on Tuesday in the presence of Mamata Banerjee and other senior party leaders. During the meeting, a new six-member core committee was constituted to oversee the party’s digital and social media operations.

The meeting is expected to include a detailed review of the recent election results and discussions on the party’s future organisational strategy and programmes.
