Though the people of Uttar Pradesh have good knowledge about the political organization following the railway ministry being headed by the minister who hails from  Trinamool Congress and secondly the rise of party following the media hype that was generated post-Singur and Nandigram events in West Bengal.

The party has decided to contest on some 250 seats in the state of Uttar Pradesh. The party’s coordinator for Uttar Pradesh Dr S P Singh said that the party would also be talking to small regional parties and groups where elections can be fought in a coalition. The party has already started making its cadre at the grass-root level.

Political pundits feel the party will not be able to damage political prospects of other major players here in Uttar Pradesh as they have made a very late entry into the state just barely a month before the state would go to polls in the month of February. The local leaders of Trinamool Congress also feel it would take some time for them to reach out to the masses with the message of ‘Didi’ (read Mamta Banerjee) and the party has coined a new slogan here in the state of Uttar Pradesh - “Hindu, Muslim, Sikh aur Isai ke le charno ki dhool, aagey badhi hum sabki Trinamool”.   

Though there is a large number of Bengali people living in the state who have settled down here in different cities of Uttar Pradesh, in the time to come the Trinamool Congress could get a dedicated cadre for itself. But as of now there is no immediate threat to any political party and it will take years for the party to really make a good hold here in the state as Uttar Pradesh is quite a big state. So may be in the next Lok Sabha elections that are scheduled to take place in 2014, the Trinamool Congress can perform better and pose a challenge to other political parties in the state.
