TMC's Post-Election Strategy Session

TMC national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee was also present.

 

TMC spokesperson and Beliaghata MLA Kunal Ghosh said all decisions regarding our future responsibilities rest with Mamata Banerjee.

"Who will get which responsibility and what assignment will be given to whom, that is entirely Didi's decision, and all of us will abide by it. Whatever decision she takes will be final," Ghosh told reporters after the meeting.
