TMC ignores Sudip ‘requirement' remark

Kolkata: Trinamool Kolkata North MP Sudip Bandyopadhyay on Saturday said that he would convene the party's north Kolkata core committee meeting "whenever (he felt) it was required". Reacting to this, TMC spokesperson Kunal Ghosh said, "I cannot speak on what has been said. The core committee members may speak on it." In May, TMC removed the MP from north Kolkata president's post and tasked decision-making to a nine-member core committee. Bandyopadhyay was made the party's north Kolkata chairperson. The core committee comprises Atin Ghosh, Jibon Saha, Nayana Bandyopadhyay, Paresh Paul, Shashi Panja, Supti Pandey, Swapan Samaddar, Swarna Kamal Saha and Vivek Gupta. Bandyopadhyay's reply was to a question as to when a meeting of the core committee would be called. In the run-up to the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, TMC's north Kolkata unit was troubled by dissent against Bandyopadhyay. It led to the defection of then-MLA Tapas Roy. While TMC was successful in handling the dissent and scripting Bandyopadhyay's record fourth win from the LS seat, the veteran neta's role — or the lack of it — raised eyebrows as the party battled against the protests following the RG Kar rape and murder.
