Trinamool Congress Disbands All Committees in Bengal, Unveils Plan for Organizational Restructure

Border villages in Murshidabad, WB, entangled in a cycle of infiltration politics and concerns over identity.
On Wednesday, the All India Trinamool Congress (AITC) announced a significant organizational restructuring in West Bengal, dissolving all its committees and frontal organizations immediately. This move comes amid rising internal discontent, as many legislators have reportedly raised concerns over recent events.

The Mamata Banerjee-led party stated on X that the decision was made after thorough deliberation and aims to fortify the organization.

“After thorough deliberation, it has been decided that all committees of the All India Trinamool Congress in West Bengal and all its frontal organizations shall be dissolved immediately,” the party stated.

Party to conduct performance audit and introspection

The AITC indicated that the dissolution of committees is part of a broader initiative involving introspection, organizational assessment, and performance evaluation at all levels. Once this assessment concludes, new committees and frontal bodies will be formed and announced.

“Based on the findings of this initiative, the organizational structure of the parent body and all frontal organizations will be reconstituted and announced in due course. The party is dedicated to strengthening its structure and equipping it to face future challenges with renewed energy and purpose,” the statement noted.

Decision comes amid reports of internal discord

This announcement of restructuring arises against a backdrop of increasing tensions within the party. Reports indicate that a faction of legislators has voiced dissatisfaction regarding recent organizational changes, leading to noticeable rifts within the party.

On Wednesday, members of the purported rebel faction claimed they had garnered support from a majority of the party’s 80 MLAs. This group has reportedly opposed Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s choice of Sobhandeb Chattopadhyay as the Leader of Opposition in the West Bengal Assembly.

“We don’t know the exact figure… I am hearing from outside that 59 signatures have been received. I am hearing this. I have also signed…” West Bengal Assembly LoP, TMC MLA Mustafizur Rahman was quoted as saying by ANI.

The controversy escalated earlier this week when the Trinamool Congress expelled MLAs Sandipan Saha and Ritabrata Banerjee from the party’s primary membership, citing alleged anti-party activities.

This development comes amid sharp criticisms from Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari, who has questioned the TMC regarding allegations of forged signatures and internal communications.
