Kolkata: Speaking at the Trinamool Congress's organizational meeting in the Netaji Indoor Stadium, party MP and national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee addressed claims of a rift between him and party chief Mamata Banerjee. He reassured the gathering of senior party workers and leaders that he remains a loyal member of the TMC and considers Mamata Banerjee to be his leader.
Abhishek dismissed reports of a rift as "canards" often spread by the opposition whenever an election approaches. The meeting was held to strategize for the upcoming 2026 Assembly polls in the state.
Addressing the rumors of him joining the BJP, Abhishek boldly stated that he would continue to raise the slogan "Mamata Banerjee Zindabad" even if his throat was slit. His statement holds significance as he has been largely absent from the forefront of the party's organizational activities and has focused on social welfare work in his constituency, Diamond Harbour.
He also addressed the issue of party discipline and urged members to be careful about their public discourse. He emphasized the need to work together and focus on public service rather than engaging in internal conflicts. He warned against engaging in conspiracies, stating that such efforts would be futile and those involved would be impacted themselves.
Abhishek also addressed the recent charge sheet filed by the CBI, which names a certain "Abhishek Banerjee" in connection with the teachers' recruitment scam. He accused the agency of acting at the behest of its political masters and stated that they do not have any evidence against him. He boldly declared that if any evidence of corruption is presented, he would willingly walk up and hang himself.
At the meeting, Abhishek set a target for the party workers to win at least one additional seat in the 2026 state assembly elections. He also took a dig at the BJP, stating that they may have the ED, CBI, and Income Tax department on their side, but they do not have the courage to fight on the streets. He confidently stated that the TMC has broken through the BJP's "chakravyuh" before and will do so again.
