Reshuffle In TMC: Arnab Banerjee Named Youth Chief, Kunal Ghosh Gets North Kolkata Post

The Trinamool Congress on Sunday announced key organisational changes, appointing Arnab Banerjee as the new State President of the Trinamool Youth Congress and Kunal Ghosh as the president of the party's North Kolkata organisational district unit. Arnab Banerjee replaces Saayoni Ghosh as the state youth wing chief after she left the party. In another major reshuffle, Kunal Ghosh has been appointed president of the North Kolkata organisational district, replacing senior TMC leader and MP Sudip Bandyopadhyay in the post. This came after 19 members from TMC signed a letter and sent to Speaker Om Birla's office. The rebel faction's strength of 19 MPs, which is two-thirds of the party’s strength, allows them to bypass the anti-defection law. They insist that they would not join the BJP-led ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA) and would only support it.
