Anubrata and Chandranath's supporters clash over claim on TMC party office

In Bolpur, an office associated with Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader and Minister Chandranath Sinha has become the center of a political conflict following accusations of a takeover attempt by supporters of TMC’s Anubrata Mondal. The incident reportedly involved Mondal’s followers entering the office and displaying a banner featuring his photograph, prompting allegations of deliberate action to claim control over the space. The office has been closely linked to Sinha’s faction within the party.

The incident took place days after Anubrata Mondal was inducted into the TMC core committee on Saturday. His induction is seen as a significant move within the party hierarchy. The office controversy comes amidst long-standing rivalries in Birbhum, including a history of conflicts between Anubrata Mondal and Kajal Sheikh, another senior TMC leader. Chandranath Sinha’s faction alleged that this latest action was an attempt to consolidate Mondal’s influence in the region.

While party insiders suggested that the individuals involved in the disturbance might be external miscreants unaffiliated with TMC, no verification or official statement has confirmed these claims. Anubrata Mondal has not addressed the accusations publicly, and Minister Chandranath Sinha has also refrained from commenting directly on the matter. Meanwhile, local party leaders have begun assessing the implications of the event for the party’s district dynamics. The situation remains under review as calls for resolving the growing internal tensions gain urgency.
