In a important move ahead of the July 21 rally, the trinamool Congress (TMC) has decided that only Chief Minister mamata Banerjee’s image will grace the event’s promotional materials. This decision comes in light of Abhishek banerjee’s absence from the pivotal movement, a fact he has acknowledged himself. The party’s preparations for the rally were discussed in a recent meeting, where the focus on Mamata’s leadership was reaffirmed.
During a preparatory meeting held at the TMC office on Priyanath Mallik Road, Sudip Bandopadhyay confirmed that the posters distributed from the party’s headquarters feature only Mamata Banerjee. This decision has stirred conversations within the party, especially considering past controversies surrounding the visibility of Abhishek Banerjee alongside the party leader. In November 2023, during a rally at the Netaji Indoor Stadium, Mamata’s image was prominently displayed, raising eyebrows among party members. However, Abhishek has proactively addressed these concerns, emphasizing the need for unity and clarity in the party’s messaging.As the July 21 event approaches, the TMC seems focused on consolidating its image and reinforcing Mamata’s position as the party’s face, while navigating the complexities of internal dynamics.
