Thousands of people, mostly peasants, joined the rallies and made it a massive success. Organisers believe, more and more people will join the rallies to promote their basic demands for democracy. However, TMC attack on the rallies continued even on Tuesday.

CPI (M) State Secretary Surya Kanta Mishra suggested that people are organising themselves now, they are resisting the atrocities and TMC is afraid of that.
Various bike riders has threatened the commoners on Sunday, but people did not pay any heed and took part in the rally throughout the district. On Monday, TMC supported hooligans, with the help of the police, attacked a rally of more than 250 people. But the people resisted valiantly and ultimately, the hooligans ran away.

Jatha Attarcts More Mass in Murshidabad
In the last four years the TMC government was unable to have a strong grip over the district of Murshidabad. Consequently, they have taken unfair means to wipe away the political ooponents. People of the district raised their voce against the atrocities and their basic demands were clearly reflected in the 11 Jatha rallies which have been conducted till now in Baharampur. The District Secretary of CPI(M) Mriganka Bhattacharya said that they obtained overwhelming support from the people. Eight Jatha rallies were conducted in Bhagangola and Raninagar area. Former MP Mainul Hassan lead the rallies in those areas. Former Minister of the Left Front government Anisur Rahman took up the leadership of the rally in Domkal.
Hooghly Demands Industry
The people of Hooghly are still bearing the wound left by the deserted automobile project. The incumbent government had assured them about repairing of the damage. But nothing was yielded in the last four years. Consequently, the anger of the people was gushed out through the rallies which have been conducted in Hooghly district. People who stood against the earlier Left Front government, with a big hope for a positive change, now joined the rally to vent out their grievances against the TMC government. Farmers are not getting the value of their crops, the automobile industry of Hindmotors is counting its days, all the jute mills of Serampore area are on the verge of extinction. Under such circumstances, people have joined in 94 Jatha rallies in Konnagar, Chandannagar, Tarakeshwar and other areas of the district. Former Left Front minister Sudarshan Ray Chaudhury told that TMC supporters are fragmented by their internal collisions. Even the police could not control them. 113 mass organisations have organised rallied throughout Hooghly.
