Trinamool Congress appoints Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar as new Chief Whip in Lok Sabha. The post became vacant after Kalyan Banerjee resigned, criticizing the party's parliamentary leadership.

Title: Trinamool Congress Appoints Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar as New Chief Whip in Lok SabhaThe Trinamool Congress (TMC) has appointed Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar as its new Chief Whip in the Lok Sabha, following the resignation of Kalyan Banerjee. The appointment comes amidst internal party tensions and ongoing discussions about the National Register of Citizens (NRC) [1].
Kalyan Banerjee resigned as the party's Chief Whip after a series of disagreements with fellow MP Mahua Moitra. Moitra's remarks on Banerjee, referring to him as a "pig" during a podcast, led to the resignation [2]. The TMC has since appointed Ghosh Dastidar to replace Banerjee, while Satabdi Roy has been designated as the deputy leader in the Lok Sabha to assist Abhishek Banerjee, the party's new leader in the House [1].
The appointment of Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar underscores the TMC's efforts to maintain internal harmony and continue its parliamentary operations. The party's leadership has been grappling with the NRC issue, with Mamata Banerjee expressing concerns over the targeting and torture of Bengali workers in other states [1].
Meanwhile, the Trinamool Congress continues to face challenges in its relationship with the ruling BJP, with ongoing tensions over the NRC and other policy issues. The party's ability to navigate these challenges will be crucial in determining its future political trajectory.
