CM Mamata calls high-level party meeting on Monday, reshuffling on cards

Mamata Banerjee, the supremo of the Trinamool Congress (TMC), has called a meeting of the national committee on Monday at 4 PM at Kalighat, one day after the results of the six by-elections in Bengal are announced. The meeting will include Mamata Banerjee, Abhishek Banerjee, Subrata Bakshi, and other key members of the national committee. The primary agenda of the meeting will be to review the results and discuss the party's strategy for the upcoming elections.

The meeting is expected to focus on the steps necessary to maintain TMC’s stronghold in Bengal ahead of the 2026 legislative assembly elections. Sources indicate that the party may evaluate its organizational structure, looking at potential changes and adjustments to improve efficiency and effectiveness. The meeting could also address the overall political strategy the party will adopt for both local and national fronts, particularly with an eye on upcoming legislative sessions.

Another critical issue on the agenda is a possible reshuffle within the party’s leadership. Although discussions about this reshuffle have been ongoing for some time, no formal decisions have been announced. Senior party leaders have expressed the need for changes to address internal dynamics and strengthen the organization, but details of the reshuffling are yet to be confirmed.

The meeting will also review the party’s preparedness for the upcoming winter sessions of the state legislative assembly and Lok Sabha. With key issues pending in both sessions, the party's stance on various national and regional matters will be deliberated. The results of the by-elections are expected to influence the party’s positioning in these upcoming legislative discussions, where TMC aims to strengthen its influence.
