TMC rebels demand Mamata leave Abhishek's hand

Madan Mitra, a senior MLA from the Trinamool Congress, gave Mamata Banerjee a one-month ultimatum to leave her nephew Abhishek Banerjee's hand and reconnect with the grassroot workers.

He accused both Mamata and Abhishek of sidelining workers and allowing the party to splinter.

Mitra also criticized Abhishek's use of private aircraft, alleging that the money spent on chartered flights and helicopters belongs to the party workers.

The annual Martyrs' Day observance, which commemorates the 1993 police firing that killed 13 Youth Congress activists, witnessed an unprecedented show of division this year, with three rallies being held in Kolkata by different factions of the TMC.
