Murshidabad (West Bengal) – Cricketer-turned-politician Yusuf Pathan, the Trinamool Congress (TMC) candidate from Berhampore Lok Sabha constituency, expressed his commitment to ensuring job opportunities for the residents of his constituency. Pathan highlighted his goal of fostering local employment to enable people to work and live with their families. Addressing concerns about mass outmigration of workers from Murshidabad, Pathan emphasized the importance of individual choices in deciding where to work.
Reflecting on the warm reception he received in Murshidabad, Pathan expressed gratitude for the support and shared his motivation to bring about positive change in the region. He noted the eagerness for change among the local populace and highlighted the active engagement of youth in politics as a driving force for transformation.
Pathan’s remarks come in the context of the TMC’s preparation for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, with the party recently releasing a list of star campaigners that includes prominent leaders like West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and MP Abhishek Banerjee. The inclusion of Pathan, alongside other notable figures, underscores the party’s focus on fielding candidates with diverse backgrounds and expertise.
The announcement of TMC’s candidate lineup earlier in March signaled the party’s determination to contest the elections independently, as demonstrated by the selection of candidates like Pathan and former cricketer Kirti Azad. With a strong emphasis on promoting local representation and addressing the aspirations of the electorate, TMC aims to secure support across various segments of the population in West Bengal.
As the political landscape continues to evolve in the lead-up to the elections, Pathan’s pledge to prioritize job creation and community development reflects a broader commitment to empowering constituents and fostering inclusive growth. With the momentum building up ahead of the polls, the TMC’s strategies and candidates, including Pathan, are poised to shape the electoral dynamics in Berhampore and beyond.
