Birbhum, Raju Mal : Anubrata Mandal, Trinamool Congress’s Birbhum district president, dropped a bombshell at a recent Bijoya Sammelan event in Suri’s Purnandapur area, hinting that he may step down from his position. In a surprising show of camaraderie, Mandal praised current block president Nurul Islam, describing him as a “good boy” and a trusted colleague
Mandal’s words were laced with a sense of nostalgia and shared purpose, as he reminisced about their time working together. He assured Islam that he wouldn’t be leaving him to shoulder the responsibility alone, stating, “After Mamata Banerjee becomes CM again, we’ll quit together, two brothers.” This statement not only underscores Mandal’s loyalty to his colleague but also highlights his unwavering support for the party’s leader.
However, insiders suggest that Mandal’s influence in Birbhum’s politics has been waning, and his characteristic sharp comments have become fewer and farther between. This development has sparked speculation about the future of the Trinamool Congress in the region.
