We are approaching the court against it on Monday. We will file a petition before the High Court,” ANI quoted Kalyan Banerjee as saying after the meeting. He said, “We will fight against the way BJP is killing TMC workers and filing false cases against them. Banerjee said, we will fight on the streets, we will fight in the court.Moreover, Mamata announced a major organizational reshuffle in TMC as the party faces internal rebellion. The new leadership team includes many experienced leaders and loyalists.Abhishek Banerjee retained his position as national general secretary, while Derek O’Brien and Dola Sen were appointed national joint secretaries. Senior minister Chandrima Bhattacharya replaced Subrata Bakshi as state president of the party.The change comes days after TMC dissolved all its committees and frontal organizations across West Bengal.The TMC meeting took place against the backdrop of growing political unrest within the party, triggered by claims by a group of rebel MLAs, including expelled leaders Ritabrata Banerjee and Sandipan Saha. The dissidents have claimed that they have the support of 58 MLAs in the West Bengal Assembly and have opposed the party leadership’s decision to appoint Shobhandeb Chattopadhyay as the Leader of the Opposition (LOP).
