Kalyan 'Will quit if Mamata cannot run TMC without Abhishek'

Amid the widening rift within the Trinamool Congress, MP and senior advocate Kalyan Banerjee on Thursday attacked party General Secretary Abhishek Banerjee for his “arrogance” and “misbehaviour” and warned he could quit if party supremo Mamata Banerjee felt that she could not run it without her nephew.

Kalyan Banerjee’s outburst came after he was allegedly not informed about a separate petition filed by another lawyer in



the Diamond Harbour MP’s case before the Calcutta High Court.

Speaking to Media, Kalyan Banerjee described the sequence of events that led to his ire.

A petition by Abhishek Banerjee had challenged the summons to him by the West Bengal Police’s Criminal Investigation Department (CID) in the legislators’ signature mismatch case and also sought interim protection from coercive police action, including arrest.
