Abhishek Banerjee and the remaking of Trinamool Congress

The Hindu  

On June 2, exactly a month after the Trinamool Congress registered one of its most emphatic electoral victories in the 2021 Assembly polls, party general secretary, Abhishek Banerjee visited a private hospital in Kolkata to enquire about the health of an elderly woman. While making way for Ms. Dev, the TMC’s Rajya Sabha MP Arpita Ghosh had addressed her resignation to Mr. Banerjee and asked for an opportunity to work for the party. Mr. Banerjee has also been crucial in initiating a number of organisational changes within the party, nominating Sayonee Ghosh as the youth president and appointing former Communist Party of India MP Ritabrata Banerjee as the head of the TMC’s labour wing. After the 2021 Assembly polls even when Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee placed herself as the challenger to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Mr. Banerjee has strengthened his grip over the party, steadily expanding his sphere of influence and has created his own niche as the second most important leader of the TMC.
