TMC Faces Fresh Trouble After Kalyan Banerjee’s ‘Choose Us Or Abhishek’ Remark
The TMC is facing fresh pressure after Kalyan Banerjee openly criticised Abhishek Banerjee and asked Mamata Banerjee to choose between party loyalists and her nephew. The remark comes as Abhishek received interim court protection in the alleged signature forgery case.
Kalyan Banerjee Ultimatum Deepens TMC Crisis As Abhishek Gets Court Relief
The Trinamool Congress is facing fresh political pressure after senior MP Kalyan Banerjee openly criticised Abhishek Banerjee and issued a strong message to party chief Mamata Banerjee. His remark, asking Mamata to choose between party loyalists and Abhishek, has added another serious layer to the ongoing TMC internal crisis.
The latest development comes at a difficult time for the party, which is already dealing with resignations, leadership tension, and questions over internal unity. Kalyan Banerjee, who has long been seen as a Mamata loyalist, said he felt insulted after Abhishek allegedly dropped him as his lawyer at the last moment in the ongoing signature forgery case.
Kalyan Banerjee Targets Abhishek Banerjee
Kalyan Banerjee’s comments have drawn attention because they came from within Mamata Banerjee’s own loyalist circle. He reportedly expressed anger over the way he was treated in connection with Abhishek Banerjee’s legal case.
His “choose Abhishek or us” remark is being seen as a sign of growing discomfort among some senior leaders over the party’s leadership structure. While Kalyan continues to back Mamata Banerjee, his direct criticism of Abhishek shows that the internal rift may no longer be limited to quiet discussions within the party.
Court Relief For Abhishek Banerjee
At the same time, Abhishek Banerjee has received interim protection from the Calcutta High Court in the alleged signature forgery case. The court has directed him to appear before the West Bengal CID as part of the investigation.
The case relates to allegations of forged signatures linked to party-related documents after the recent political developments in West Bengal. Abhishek has not been found guilty, and the matter remains under investigation.
Why This Is A Serious Moment For TMC
The timing of Kalyan Banerjee’s statement is important because TMC is already facing signs of internal unrest. Reports of resignations by senior leaders and Rajya Sabha members have increased speculation about a deeper organisational crisis within the party.
For Mamata Banerjee, the challenge is not only legal or political, but also organisational. She now has to manage public criticism from within the party while also trying to maintain control over a changing power structure.
Party Unity Under Pressure
The TMC has often depended heavily on Mamata Banerjee’s leadership image. However, the recent developments show that the party may be facing a more complicated phase, where questions over loyalty, succession, and decision-making are becoming more visible.
Kalyan Banerjee’s comments do not confirm a formal split, but they clearly indicate that the party’s internal discomfort has become public. The issue could also give opposition parties a chance to target TMC over instability and leadership confusion.
What Happens Next
All eyes are now on Mamata Banerjee’s response. If the leadership manages to calm the situation quickly, the issue may remain an internal dispute. But if more leaders speak out, the crisis could deepen further.
For now, the TMC is facing one of its most sensitive political moments, with Abhishek Banerjee’s legal battle, Kalyan Banerjee’s ultimatum, and growing internal unrest all coming together at the same time.
