New Delhi: The Trinamool Congress on Friday appointed veteran parliamentarian Saugata Roy as its deputy leader in the Lok Sabha, filling a key position that had fallen vacant after Satabdi Roy joined the rebel camp that broke away from the party.
The appointment comes amid a major organisational churn in the TMC's parliamentary ranks following the rebellion by 20 MPs, who subsequently aligned with the Nationalist Citizens Party of India (NCPI), triggering changes in the party's leadership structure in Parliament.
