In yet another public outburst, Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Kalyan Banerjee has reignited his feud with fellow party leader Mahua Moitra, calling her the "most anti-woman" and accusing her of breaking a family. The sharp remark comes barely three months after their previous spat made headlines, indicating ongoing tensions within the party ranks.
Kalyan Banerjee Slams Mahua Moitra, Calls Her ‘Most Anti-Woman’; Rekindles Intra-Party Tensions
Banerjee’s comment, “She broke a family,” appears to reference Moitra’s personal life, intensifying what many are calling a deeply personal and politically damaging row. The comment has sparked controversy across political and social platforms, with critics accusing Banerjee of launching a gendered attack, while others see it as a symptom of widening cracks within TMC’s leadership fabric.
TMC leaders are yet to issue a formal statement
The TMC leadership has yet to issue a formal statement on the ongoing war of words between two of its prominent faces. However, the episode raises questions about internal discipline and unity, especially as the party braces for key electoral battles ahead.
This clash is particularly significant as Mahua Moitra remains one of the most visible and vocal leaders of the TMC, with a strong base among the youth and urban electorate. Her growing national profile has often brought her at odds with senior party members who see her outspokenness as disruptive.
Absence of any disciplinary action hints at internal hesitation
Political analysts suggest that this ongoing power struggle could hurt the TMC’s image as it seeks to project unity and progressive leadership ahead of the 2026 West Bengal Assembly polls. The absence of any disciplinary action so far hints at internal hesitations to alienate either of the two influential leaders. As the party treads cautiously, observers will be watching closely whether Mamata Banerjee intervenes to contain the fallout.
