TMC set to take on BJP nationally : Abhishek Banerjee

Kolkata: The newly appointed Trinamool Congress National General Secretary, Abhishek Banerjee, has said that the TMC has chalked out its plan for “national politics” and claimed that “the party will lay down its vision in the next one month”.

“We will take on the BJP head-on when we foray into another state. We will go there to win the state and not just a few seats,” Abhishek said on Monday.

Slamming the BJP for its culture of dynastic politics, he urged the BJP to come out with a policy of "one family-one member" in politics and said that he would resign the same day. 

They (BJP) have the numbers, why don’t they pass a bill allowing only one person from a family to join politics. Pass the bill and I will be the first person to resign. Let them come out with a policy and I will resign on the same day,” the TMC General Secretary said.

Reacting to the “dynasty” jibe, he said that the “BJP is rattled with my appointment”. “Practise what you preach. Can Jay Shah come out and give up his BCCI post?” he asked adding, “Sometimes dynasty is better than being nasty!”

On being asked whether the TMC will fight the election in Gujarat, he replied, “Till the time I can work on the organisation which we are doing at present, I will keep all speculations alive. Wherever we go, we will go to win the state.”

“I am not the second in command. The first and the only command of the TMC is Mamata Banerjee, and thereafter the second in command is the entire party and all the party workers,” he clarified.

During the assembly poll campaigns, on several occasions, the PM Narendra Modi and the Union Home Minister Amit Shah had attacked Banerjee on “dynastic politics”, claiming that Mamata Banerjee intends to make him the new Chief Minister.
