Kolkata, 7 December
Amid internal turmoil between senior Trinamool Congress leaders and the young Turks, West Bengal Chief Minister and party president Mamata Banerjee said any decision on her successor would be taken by the party leadership collectively and not individually. .
In an interview with Bengali news channel News 18 Bangla on Friday, Banerjee dismissed notions of individual dominance, saying, “I am not a party, we are a party. It is a joint family, and decisions will be made collectively.” Asked about her potential successor, Banerjee deflected the question with a retort to the interviewer, saying, “The party will decide what is best for the people… We have MLAs, MPs, booth workers, it’s a It is a joint effort.”
On the old versus new debate in the party, Banerjee maintained a balanced approach, saying, “Everyone is important.
Today’s newcomer will be tomorrow’s veteran. This comment of Banerjee has come amid the ongoing conflict between the party leaders. While the old leaders are believed to be loyal to Mamata Banerjee, the new generation is believed to be close to the national general secretary of the TMC. News-Patiala
