Abhishek Banerjee takes lead after new role, holds organisational meets

After taking over as Trinamool's leader of Lok Sabha, there is a distinct shift in the party leadership with its national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee taking a more active role in organisational matters, holding meetings with various districts, including Jalpaiguri and Malda leadership, trying to iron out factional feud and target the North Bengal seats, ahead of the 2026 assembly polls.

Abhishek is also focussing on organisational structure and strengthening of the North Bengal districts where BJP has a stronghold. He has held several meetings with Jalpaiguri district party leadership and Malda, where there are warring sections within the Trinamool.

On Tuesday, he also held a virtual meeting with several districts and outlined the role of the Trinamool Congress leadership about the proposed Special Intensive Revision, similar to what happened in Bihar, and directed them to identify the booth level officers (BL0s).


Abhishek has given a message to party leaders to inform Trinamool state president or his office in case any biased or undemocratic activity is found, sources said.

Abhishek's new role assumes significance ahead of the 2026 polls and amid a feud between Trinamool MPs - Kalyan Banerjee and Mahua Moitra.
