The programmes will be held across the State between August 28 and September 4, said Majumdar, also the Union Minister of State for Education and DoNER.

Demanding Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's resignation for her alleged failure to address the issue of women's safety, Majumdar said the party would begin a sit-in in Esplanade area of Kolkata from August 28 while the party's women's wing would lock the gates of the State Women's Commission office.
