TMC MP and senior advocate Kalyan Banerjee issues an ultimatum to party chief Mamata Banerjee, telling her to choose between him and her nephew Abhishek Banerjee. Across reports, Banerjee frames the dispute as a response to alleged disrespect and arrogance from Abhishek, saying he cannot be “humiliated” within the party. He also argues that, as a more senior political figure, he should not be treated in a manner he describes as unacceptable.
Banerjee says he will step away from representing Abhishek in legal matters and court petitions, citing the treatment he has received. The statements are made amid ongoing internal tensions in the Trinamool Congress following electoral setbacks, with multiple outlets describing an ongoing rift within the party hierarchy.
While the reports focus on Banerjee’s public demand and his plan to withdraw legal representation, none of the sources attribute an immediate response from Mamata Banerjee or confirm any formal disciplinary action at the time of reporting.
