Bickering and infighting within the Trinamool Congress rank and file continue with writer-turned-MLA Manoranjan Byapari alleging a threat to his life. He said he was being targeted by members of his own party.
Over the past two days, allegations have been flying between Trinamool Zilla Parishad member Runa Khatun and celebrated writer-turned-politician Mr. Byapari. Not only did Mr. Byaparai say that he was facing a threat to his life from Trinamool Zilla Parishad member Runa Khatun and her husband Arijit Das; but he also stressed that most people killed in political violence were Trinamool leaders.
“Certain leaders in my constituency (Balagarh in Hooghly district) are behaving unethically. I have protested against illegal sand mining and irregularities in the public distribution system linked to my party leaders,” Mr. Byapari wrote on social media. He was elected from Balagarh Assembly seat located in the State’s Hooghly district in the 2021 Assembly polls.
