Trinamool Congress leader Abhishek Banerjee on Sunday spoke out on the debate over the role of veterans and youth in the party. He asserted that there were no differences between the old guard and the new generation. There has been talk of feuding within the party over the issue.
“Recently there have been reports of differences between older and younger members of the party. However, I want to emphasise that the party remains united under the leadership of our supremo and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee,” he said during an event at Diamond Harbour in South 24 Parganas district.
The Trinamool leadership have been sniping at each other on this issue. Mr. Banerjee has been insisting on introducing fresh blood whereas party chairperson Mamata Banerjee has given the impression that she does not want to dispense with the old guard.
