Trinamool Congress' Top Body To Meet Post Leadership Reshuffle, Amid Rift

The reshuffle was meant to address tension over Abhishek Banerjee's push to promote a 'one man, one post' policy not welcomed by some older members
Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has called for a meeting of the freshly reconstituted National Working Committee - the ruling Trinamool Congress' top decision-making body.
The meeting will be held at Ms Banerjee's residence in Kolkata.
Committee members were replaced this week amid an internal rift between supporters of Abhishek Banerjee, her nephew and heir-apparent, and her loyalists. The groups clashed over the 'one man, one post' principle that has irked the latter since many hold multiple posts in the ruling establishment.
Principal among the items on the agenda of the new committee's first meet will be the selection of office-bearers and their designations, with all eyes focused on what post Mr Banerjee will get.
