NEW DELHI: West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee has been elected as the All India Trinamool Congress Parliamentary Party chairperson, according to the party’s statement on Saturday.
The party has also elected Sudip Bandyopadhyay to serve as the leader of the party in the Lok Sabha, with Dr Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar assuming the role of deputy leader. Kalyan Banerjee has been appointed as the Chief Whip in the lower house of Parliament.
TMC MP Derek O’Brien has been elected as the leader of party in Rajya Sabha, while Sagarika Ghose, a prominent party leader, will take on the responsibility of Deputy leader. Nadimul Haque has been designated as the Chief Whip in the upper house, as announced by the Trinamool Congress.
After the party meet, TMC chief Mamata Banerjee said the Citizenship Amendment Act has to be revoked and that her party will raise the demand in Parliament.
“PM Modi’s intention was two get two-third majority in Lok Sabha elections 2024. However, they (BJP) didn’t even cross the majority mark. They are nowhere near to that number (272 seats). How will they amend the Constitution without two-third majority? Last time, they had passed bills without discussions but won’t be able to do it this time,” she said.
The West Bengal chief minister also took several jibes at the NDA government, stating that the “country needs change”.
“We are keeping a watch on the situation let’s see how long this NDA government lasts … Today INDIA bloc may not have staked claim to form government, that doesn’t mean it won’t tomorrow,” the CM said, adding that the mandate was against the BJP and that “Narendra Modi should not become PM”.
