Kalyan Banerjee Refuses to Represent Abhishek, Seeks Mamata's Choice

Kalyan Banerjee says Abhishek Banerjee sidelined senior leaders in a forgery case and warned Mamata Banerjee must choose between them.

  • On Thursday, Trinamool Congress MP Kalyan Banerjee announced he would no longer represent party leader Abhishek Banerjee in court, citing his "arrogant attitude" and a sudden change in legal counsel.
  • Kalyan, a Sreerampur MP since 2009, claimed he was not consulted before his removal from the signature forgery case, describing the late-night notice regarding the change in counsel as disrespectful.
  • Addressing reporters, Kalyan demanded that party chief Mamata Banerjee choose between him and Abhishek, stating, "Mamata Must Make A Choice," and warning the party "will not survive" if Abhishek remains.
  • These comments intensify internal divisions within the TMC, which is already grappling with recent resignations; 58 of 80 legislators have reportedly formed a separate assembly wing.
  • In the Lok Sabha, at least 20 of 28 MPs recently declared support for the ruling National Democratic Alliance, while the TMC undergoes a "comprehensive" review of its organizational structure.
