"Pig", "Anti-Women": After Kalyan Banerjee Vs Mahua Moitra, A Resignation
Kolkata: Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee put her house in order today after a verbal battle between Trinamool MPs Kalyan Banerjee and Mohua Moitra made headlines, with words like "pig", "anti-women" and "home breaker" being bandied about. As Kalyan Banerjee stepped down as the party's chief whip at a virtual meeting, Ms Banerjee asked her party MPs not to fight among themselves and focus on battling the government on Special Intensive Revision and the "National Register of Citizens". "I have quit as the party's chief whip in Lok Sabha, as 'didi' (West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee) said during the virtual meeting that there is a lack of coordination among party MPs. So the blame is on me. Hence, I have decided to step down," Kalyan Banerjee told a news channel, reported news agency Press Trust of India. Earlier, Mahua Moitra, in a podcast with a media house, hit out at Kalyan Banerjee, dubbing him a "pig". "You don't wrestle with a pig. Because the pig likes it and you get dirty," Ms Moitra said, responding to Mr Banerjee's comments on her marriage to Odisha's BJD ex-MP Pinaki Mishra. "There are deeply misogynistic, sexually frustrated, depraved men in India and they have their representation in parliament across all parties," she added. Her response came after Mr Banerjee had called her "anti-woman" and accused her of breaking a family, following an earlier spat about the rape in Bengal law college. "She calls me anti-women? What is she? What has she done? She is back from her honeymoon. She has broken a man's family of 40 years and married a 65-year-old man. She is calling me anti-woman?" Mr Banerjee had said, referring to Ms Moitra's marriage to ex-BJD MP Pinaki Misra. Asked about party chief's silence over the matter, she had expressed confidence that Ms Banerjee would do something about it. But Ms Moitra's jibe had sparked a long note of protest from Kalyan Banerjee. "Labeling a male colleague as 'sexually frustrated' isn't boldness - it's outright abuse. If such language were directed at a woman, there would be nationwide outrage, and rightly so. But when a man is the target, it's dismissed or even applauded. Let's be clear: abuse is abuse - regardless of gender," he wrote in the post on X. "Her choice of words, including the use of dehumanising language such as comparing a fellow MP to a "pig", is not only unfortunate but reflects a deep disregard for basic norms of civil discourse... If Ms. Moitra thinks that flinging gutter insults will mask her own failures or distract from serious questions about her record, she is deluding herself," he added. The two MPs had gone toe-to-toe after Kalyan Banerjee had made some offensive comments when asked about the possibility of the deployment of police inside schools. "Misogyny in India cuts across party lines. What differentiates @AITCofficial is that we condemn these disgusting comments no matter who makes them," Mahua Moitra had said in a post on X.

In major reshuffle for TMC, Abhishek Banerjee given charge as Lok Sabha leader, Kakali replaces Kalyan as new Chief Whip
In a significant reshuffle of the Trinamool Congress party, Chairperson Mamata Banerjee on Sunday announced that Abhishek Banerjee will take over as the party's Lok Sabha leader until veteran MP Sudip Bandyopadhyay, who currently holds the role, 'becomes fully fit'. Kakali Ghosh Dastidar will replace Kalyan Banerjee as Chief Whip. The announcement came during a virtual meeting of TMC MPs, who gathered at the party's new office on Rajendra Prasad Road in New Delhi. According to sources, Mamata Banerjee expressed her unhappiness over the party's recent coordination in Parliament and performance in the Lok Sabha. 'She said Abhishek Banerjee will lead the party in the Lok Sabha until Sudip Bandyopadhyay becomes fully fit. Kakali Ghosh Dastidar will oversee daily coordination,' said a senior MP present at the meeting. Bandyopadhyay, who is 76, had not been attending Parliament regularly in recent times. Mamata also referred to recent controversies involving Mahua Moitra, Kalyan Banerjee, and Kirti Azad. She indicated that in the absence of senior leaders Sudip Bandyopadhyay and Sougata Roy, Kalyan Banerjee had been entrusted with coordinating parliamentary affairs — a responsibility she believes he failed to discharge effectively. After the meeting, Kalyan Banerjee denied being removed, telling his close circle that he had resigned. A senior TMC MP said, 'Abhishek Banerjee had talked to Kalyan Banerjee and requested him to hold off on the decision.' Kalyan Banerjee told mediapersons, 'Abhishek Banerjee talked to me 10 minutes earlier.' He added, 'What will I do if the majority of MPs are regularly absent in Parliament? Does Mamata Banerjee know how the daily work of Parliament is going? If the party would not have taken steps, what would I do? I did maximum work but I am not a scholar from Oxford, Cambridge. I do not wear expensive sarees. Those who criticise Mamata Banerjee, they get rewarded.' At the meeting, Mamata Banerjee also instructed MPs to raise their voice against alleged harassment of Bengalis in BJP-ruled states and to oppose the Election Commission's Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process. She also advised MPs to actively participate in INDIA bloc meetings.
