Crisis in TMC: Former treasurer Arup Biswas asked to freeze party account worth Rs 676 crore due to fear of misuse of cheques. The party has claimed to remove him from the post. Amidst this internal strife, major changes have also been made in the organization.
New Delhi: A new crisis has arisen in Trinamool Congress (TMC). Party treasurer and former minister Arup Biswas has asked the bank to freeze the party’s account. There is about Rs 676 crore in this account. Biswas has taken this step because he fears that rebel leaders may misuse his already signed cheques.
However, TMC has clarified on this and said that Arup Biswas is no longer the treasurer of the party. The party says that a new treasurer has been appointed in the meeting held on the 5th of this month. Let us tell you that Arup Biswas is the same minister who, while being the Sports Minister, was embroiled in controversies by bringing Messi to Kolkata. Recently, when he had reached the court, the lawyers also threw eggs at him.
Amidst the ongoing internal feuds and crisis in the party, Trinamool Congress has made a major reshuffle in the organization. Major changes have been made in many wings and local units of the party. Youth leader Arnab Banerjee has been made the state Trinamool Youth Congress president, while Kunal Ghosh has been appointed president of the North Kolkata organizational district. These new decisions were approved in the party’s National Working Committee meeting. Apart from this, Mossarraf Hossain has been elected as the Chairman of the Minority Cell and Alifa Ahmed as the Chairman of the Women’s Wing.
