TMC Announces Key Organisational Reshuffle Amid Internal Party Challenges
The Trinamool Congress (TMC) announced a significant organisational reshuffle amid internal turmoil following its 2026 West Bengal Assembly election defeat. Arnab Banerjee was appointed State President of the Trinamool Youth Congress, replacing Saayoni Ghosh, who was dropped. Kunal Ghosh was named president of the North Kolkata unit, succeeding Sudip Bandyopadhyay, who joined a dissident faction of 19 MPs seeking recognition as a separate bloc. Veteran leader Sougata Roy was appointed Lok Sabha advisor. The party faces challenges from a rebel group claiming majority MP support and plans to meet the Lok Sabha Speaker for recognition.
