Fresh signs of unease in the Trinamool Congress have surfaced over the past few days on the issue of general secretary Abhishek Banerjee’s absence at the party’s key event on November 23.
On November 23, party chairperson and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee addressed the party rank and file at Kolkata’s Netaji Indoor Stadium. The Chief Minister’s nephew and Diamond Harbour MP Mr. Banerjee was conspicuous by his absence.
The Trinamool national general secretary made a brief appearance virtually on a giant screen at the stadium to greet the gathering with folded hands. The Chief Minister said the party general secretary was missing because of medical issues relating to an eye injury which he had suffered in 2016.
