Trinamool Congress on Wednesday removed Subal Bhowmik from the position of Tripura State president days before he joined the BJP in the presence of national President J.P. Nadda. Trinamool posted a press statement on its official Twitter handle to inform the decision.
It said State In-Charge Rajib Banerjee and MP Sushmita Dev should look after the party till a new State President is appointed. Mr. Banerjee arrived here on Wednesday to seek the opinion of local leaders of different wings over the appointment of the next president.
Subal Bhowmik was removed precisely one year and 24 days after joining the Trinamool in the presence of senior leaders like MP Derek O’Brien, West Bengal Ministers Bratya Basu and Moloy Ghatak at a private hotel. Moloy Ghatak inaugurated the State office in the presence of Subal Bhowmik last month, but since then the State president did not turn up to the office.
