He added, “After next LS elections, Trinamool will be the decisive factor to form the next government. WB CM is working tirelessly to turn Kolkata into a global city. Governance is not cakewalk. It involves hard work, dedication and a lot of selfless service. WB CM is doing just that. It took years of hard work to dislodge CPI(M) from power. We must be on our guard to maintain peace in the state.”
