In response to the question of who will lead her party after Mamata Banerjee, i.e. who will be her successor, Mamata said that it will not be decided by her but by her party. Speaking to a private channel, Mamta said that TMC is a disciplined party, where no person will set conditions. The party will decide what is best for the people.
Actually, there is a debate going on in Trinamool Congress whether senior leaders in the party will get priority or leaders of the younger generation. Mamta said that everyone is special. Today’s youth will be tomorrow’s senior. TMC has not officially declared any successor. Abhishek Banerjee is the national general secretary of Trinamool Congress and nephew of Mamata Banerjee.
