Mamata Banerjee defends Abhishek’s ‘well-deserved’ rise in Trinamool

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee joined the concluding event of Abhishek Banerjee’s ‘Trinamooler Nabo Jowar (Trinamool’s new wave)’ programme on Friday, June 16, 2023 and defended his rise to the helm of Trinamool Congress

Alleging that her nephew has been at the receiving end of canards and unfair attacks from the Opposition, Ms. Banerjee said that many think that she simply placed him at the top of the party. 

“I will give Abhishek a small memento from life’s history. Many say that Didi simply made Abhishek an MP. They are not aware that he (Abhishek) has been involved since he was two years old,” Ms. Banerjee said while addressing an event at Kakdwip.
