The Trinamool Congress has named Abhishek Banerjee as the Parliamentary party leader in the Lok Sabha on Monday, replacing veteran leader Sudip Bandyopadhyay. The decision was taken by Trinamool supremo and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee at a meeting of the party's MPs in Kolkata. According to sources, Bandyopadhyay has been ailing for a long time and has been relieved from his duties. advertisementThe significant move elevates Abhishek Banerjee's position in the party ahead of the West Bengal Assembly Elections in 2026. Presently, he is the National General Secretary of the TMC.
Earlier, the TMC nominated the Diamond Harbour MP to be part of the all-party delegation in support of Operation Sindoor. - EndsMust Watch

Oppn to take out protest march to EC office over poll fraud allegations

Prayagraj: Deputy leader of opposition in Rajya Sabha and Member of Parliament, Pramod Tiwari on Sunday said that opposition leaders and MPs would also take out a march on Monday (Aug 11) from Parliament to the Election Commission office over the 'poll fraud' issue. He, however, said the matter of Rahul Gandhi's allegations on the Election Commission is gaining momentum and the Congress is preparing for a big fight on this issue from the streets to the House. Addressing media persons at his residence on Sunday, Tiwari said all the MPs of the INDIA bloc will participate in the march as this was their right. "BJP should not try to stop it," he added. Tiwari also said that they will go to the EC and ask for the papers, evidence, and facts, stating, "These are yours. Now give us the documents, provide the data. Now you answer Rahul Gandhi's statements." The EC will have a great opportunity as the leaders of the entire opposition will be at its door steps, he said adding that the EC should provide complete data and give clarification. He claimed that the 'theft of votes' has been caught and the EC must clarify it. Tiwari said that if the EC wants, it can invite two or three MPs from each party and clear everything. Meanwhile, Rajya Sabha MP Pramod Tiwari demanded Prime Minister Narendra Modi to show courage and speak the truth on US President Donald Trump's claim on the ceasefire in Operation Sindoor.
