TMC's 'Martyrs Day' rally signals reversal of Mamata & Abhishek's roles

From the tone of the speeches of both the Chief Minister and her nephew, as well as a statement from a senior leader of the party, it was amply clear that ahead of the big battle of 2024 Lok Sabha polls, while Mamata Banerjee’s focus will be more on the national affairs, Abhishek Banerjee will concentrate more on managing the state-level party organisation.

As per a remark of Trinamool leader in the Lok Sabha, Sudip Bandopadhyay, the indications of role reversal became even more clear.

“While Mamata Banerjee will be responsible for leading the entire country, Abhishek Banerjee will be in charge of the affairs in West Bengal,” Bandopadhyay said.

The indications of the role reversal, at least till the end of the big battle in 2024, were also there in the respective speeches of the Chief Minister and Abhishek Banerjee on the occasion of the Martyrs’ Day.
