Banerjee Takes Reins: Abhishek Leads TMC in Lok Sabha
Abhishek Banerjee has been appointed the new leader of the Trinamool Congress (TMC) parliamentary party in the Lok Sabha. This follows a meeting of TMC MPs chaired by party supremo Mamata Banerjee on August 4, 2025.
The decision comes in the wake of Sudip Bandopadhyay’s ongoing health concerns. Bandopadhyay, who previously held the position, will now be relieved of his parliamentary responsibilities.
The TMC, a significant opposition voice, currently holds 29 seats in the lower house of Parliament. Abhishek Banerjee’s elevation signals a significant shift in the party’s parliamentary strategy.
This change in leadership will undoubtedly impact the TMC’s approach to parliamentary debates and legislative processes. The upcoming monsoon session will be a key test for Banerjee’s leadership and the party’s overall strategy in the face of the national political landscape.
