Overview

  • The Trinamool Congress has introduced nine-member core committees in 18 of its 35 organisational districts, including Birbhum and Kolkata (North), replacing traditional district president roles.
  • Controversial leader Anubrata Mondal, previously the Birbhum district president, has been retained as a member of the new core committee but stripped of unilateral control.
  • Veteran MP Sudip Bandyopadhyay has been removed as district president of Kolkata (North) and reassigned as district chairperson, with a core committee now overseeing organisational affairs.
  • The reshuffle reflects efforts to balance experienced leaders with emerging grassroots figures while addressing factionalism and strengthening party discipline.
  • The overhaul, endorsed by Mamata Banerjee and driven by Abhishek Banerjee’s recommendations, is seen as a strategic move to fortify the TMC’s electoral readiness for the 2026 Assembly polls.
