Party veterans have questioned the growing role of Abhishek Banerjee and lack of forums for dissent
Rumblings within the Trinamool Congress have put the party leadership in a fix, with two senior leaders over the past few days publicly airing differences.
Senior MP and the party’s chief whip in Lok Sabha Kalyan Banerjee created a flutter after he questioned claims of TMC general secretary Abhishek Banerjee’s ‘Diamond Harbour model’ for controlling COVID-19 in his parliamentary constituency.
“What is the Diamond Harbour model,” Mr. Kalyan Banerjee had asked, questioning why football tournaments were organised by the MP in Diamond Harbour at the start of the New Year if he was serious about COVID management. “There can be many functionaries in the party but my leader is Mamata Banerjee,” Mr. Kalyan Banerjee had added.
