The Trinamool Congress (TMC) or the All India Trinamool Congress (AITMC) is a political party based in the eastern Indian state of West Bengal. It was founded by Mamata Banerjee in 1998 after she split from the Indian National Congress.
The party came to power in the state with Mamata Banerjee as the CM in 2011, defeating the Left Front in the Assembly elections and marking the end of the longest democratically elected Communist government in the world.
The Trinamool Congress led by Mamata Banerjee used the 2006-07 protests against the Left Front government over Nandigram and Singur to rally supporters and popularity in Bengal. It joined hands with the Congress in the state for the 2009 Lok Sabha elections and won 19 seats, thus joining the Manmohan Singh government at the Centre. Two years later, it ended the Left’s 34-year rule in Bengal. Earlier, though, the Trinamool had also aligned with the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance in 1999, when Mamata Banerjee was made Railways Minister.
Besides dominating Bengal, the Trinamool Congress has also contested elections in Assam, Tripura, Meghalaya, and Goa. The party is one of the strong opposition voices in the Union parliament.
Kalyan Banerjee must be disqualified for the entire Parliament duration, i.e., for five while years.
A criminal FIR must be lodged against him.
Banerjee thinks the Parliament is in West Bengal and he can do as he pleases.
Mr. Jagdambika Pal should lodge an FIR against this goon. Kalyan Banerjee has always been a hooligan. Instances of violence and intimidation abound in Bengal. However, Bengal police, serving their political masters, takes no note of such behaviour.
If Banerjee thinks he can get away with such brazen acts of violence in the Parliament, he is grossly mistaken. He must be made to pay for his actions.
