The Trinamool Congress on Sunday postponed the release of its manifesto for the third time without citing any reason for the deferment ahead of the assembly elections in West Bengal
"The manifesto release has been postponed for the time being. It will be released soon," a senior TMC leader said.
West Bengal Chief Minister and TMC supremo Mamata Banerjee earlier scheduled to release the party manifesto at her residence in Kalighat this evening.
The TMC had announced it will release its manifesto on March 9 but later decided to postpone it to March 11 due to the Kolkata fire incident which claimed nine lives.
The ruling party had not released its manifesto on Thursday, following the alleged attack on Banerjee during a campaign in Purba Medinipur's Nandigram on March 10.
The TMC supremo had released the party's list of 291 candidates on March 5.
West Bengal will be voting in eight phases, beginning March 27. Votes will be counted on May 2.
