Clipping the wings of Sheikh Kajal and reconstructing the core committee with Anubrata’s men is a clear indication from Didi that her trust is still now in her old guard, said a senior Trinamul leader
The decision was taken in a meeting held at the CM’s Kolkata residence, it is learnt. Party second-in-command and MP Abhishek Banerjee was not present in the meeting.
A source in Trinamul said Kajal’s ascent to the helm of the highest rural body in the district assumed significance. It signals that he will steer the party in its contest against the BJP in Birbhum in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls
Party is preparing candidate lists based on recommendations from district leaders and Abhishek Banerjee’s office and names that emerged during internal elections
