Ex-Cong president of Tripura appointed as Trinamool’s state chief

Trinamool Congress Chairperson Mamata Banerjee on Sunday appointed former Tripura Congress President and veteran lawyer Pijush Kanti Biswas as President of her party’s Tripura unit.

Biswas along with five other Congress leaders last week joined the Trinamool in New Delhi in the presence of party supremo Mamata Banerjee and National General Secretary Abhishek Banerjee.

Pijush Kanti Biswas later told the media that the Trinamool under the leadership of Mamata Banerjee is the only party that can defeat the BJP and that is proved in West Bengal. “BJP has destroyed the democracy and rule of law in Tripura. The TMC after winning the 2023 assembly polls would restore democracy in Tripura and provide a peaceful atmosphere in the state. The TMC would crush the BJP’s ‘Bike Bahini’ and defeat the jungle raj unleashed by the ruling party,” he said.
