![‘EXPANSIONIST' TRINAMOOL HAS ITS TASK CUT OUT](https://magarticles.magzter.com/articles/20402/761241/615a87f18080f/EXPANSIONIST-TRINAMOOL-HAS-ITS-TASK-CUT-OUT.jpg)
Having pulled off a spectacular victory against the BJP, with a wheelchair-bound ‘Didi’ credited for single-handedly stopping the saffron party juggernaut, the TMC’s ambitions soared and the party, which so far did not have a mass base outside Bengal, is now aggressively trying to expand its footprints in other states. To start with, the party has plans to spread its wings in the Northeast and in smaller states like Goa.
“Despite being a regional party, we are now a successful anti-BJP force nationally. Our aim is to consolidate the anti-BJP vote in our favour as people of other states have realised that the TMC is the only party which can challenge or derail BJP-led governments. The Congress is not in a position to overthrow the BJP in the Northeastern states,” said a senior TMC leader.
As a first step toward achieving this goal, the Trinamool has been making sustained efforts to woo prominent leaders from other states to its fold. The party inducted former Goa chief minister Luizinho Faleiro a few days ago while Congress women wing chief Sushmita Dev had joined last month.
