West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has handed over her nephew and National General Secretary of Trinamool Congress (TMC) Abhishek Banerjee to the party’s Lok Sabha Unit National General Secretary Abhishek Banerjee, who is among a fresh public match between a new public match between his MPs Mahua Mitra and Kalyan Banerjee.
According to party leaders, Kalyan, aware of the case, Kalyan resigned to resign as the party’s main whip in the Lok Sabha after a decline on Monday. Party leaders said the resignation has not been accepted.
Kalyan later told HT, “Abhishek Banerjee called me and told me not to pursue my resignation. He said, he wants to talk to me.”
When asked about the alleged sexist comments of Kalyan during the 2024 Lok Sabha campaign, during an interview with India, Motra said, “You don’t wrestle with a pig because then you get dirty.”
He said, “There are deep misconceptions and sexually frustrated people in India and they are represented in Parliament,” he said.
On Monday, Kalyan Banerjee, in a post on X, returned to Motra.
“I have noticed the recent personal comments made by Ms. Mahua Motra in a public podcast. Her choice of choice, in which comparing a fellow MP to a” pig “is not only unfortunate, but also reflects a deep disregard for the basic norms of the civil discourse.”
The quarrel between Kalyan and Motra, boiling for months, reached a high level in this April, when Kalyan accused the “a female MP” of shouting at her – an alleged reference to Motra. When a delegation of TMC MPs went to the Election Commission of India’s office, the situation increased and Mahua asked CISF personnel to arrest Kalyan. In June, Motra was seen criticizing Kalyan on her comments on the gang-existence of Kolkata Law College, a woman. Kalyan replied, alleging “40 years of marriage break”, a reference to her marriage with Biju Janata Dal (BJD) leader Pinaki Mishra.
Those who think that “take an inventory substance, take a tough look at what kind of politics they are practicing – and to make it hollow,” he said.
“Let me explain it clearly: What I had talked about was a question of public accountability and personal conduct, which should be designed to face every public person – male or female. If those facts are uncomfortable or uncomfortable, it does not make the branding the valid criticism of branding right to avoid” wrong “.
“Labeling a male colleague as ‘sexually disappointed’ is not boldness – this is not a lump sum abuse. If such a language was directed to a woman, there will be nationwide resentment, and fine. But when a man is a target, it is dismissed or even clear that if the roles are revealed that the roles are not evasured, then it is not anytime.
“If Ms. Moitra thinks that insulting the gutter will lead to her own failures or will be distracted by serious questions about her record, then she is seduction herself.”
As a face-to-face, the latest between the two MPs, by increasing West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, quickly called an online meeting of party MPs.
According to a leader present at the meeting, Mamta praised the performance of the party’s Rajya Sabha team, but marked the issues of coordination in its Lok Sabha unit. And even TMC’s Lok Sabha floor leader Sudeep Bandopadhyay was present and was ready to travel to Delhi, Banerjee decided to appoint Abhishek Banerjee as the party’s Lok Sabha in -charge.
