In the absence of Anubrata Mondal, the party chief Mamata Banerjee had formed the core committee, which included the two MPs, Shatabdi Roy and Asit Mal and Suri MLA and veteran TMC leader Bikash Roy Choudhury as convener to run the Birbhum district.

Yesterday, Abhishek Banerjee has recommended retaining the core committee and said that under it the TMC has performed better in the 2023 three-tier gram panchayat polls and 2024 Lok Sabha polls, compared to the 2021 Assembly polls.

In fact, Abhishek Banerjee is known to have said that both the two MPs have increased their margin of victory and to keep such results in future too the core committee should be retained.

Kajal Sheikh is known to be very close to Abhishek.
