Amid a widening rift within the party ranks, Trinamool Congress’s national general secretary, Abhishek Banerjee, wrote a letter to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, requesting him to represent the Trinamool Congress as a single political entity. He also wrote that the party would be represented by its Leader and the Chief Whip in both Houses of the Indian Parliament.
“Treat the AITC as a single political party represented in the House solely through its duly authorised Leader and Whip, and decline to accord any recognition, status, or facility to any purported separate group or faction of the AITC,” Banerjee wrote to Speaker Om Birla.
The development came an hour after two TMC MPs visited Om Birla’s residence and submitted a letter requesting the Speaker not to recognise any faction or bloc in the party. They called the creation of any such group within the party ‘illegal.’
