West Bengal Chief Minister and Trinamool Congress supremo Mamata Banerjee on Monday made it clear that a decision on the complaints registered against the party MP from Krishnanagar Mahua Moitra by six party legislators will be taken at a district-level organisational meeting in Nadia in due course.
The legislators wrote to Banerjee, and state President of the party, Subrata Bakshi last week, seeking his immediate action complaining Moitra of conducting a "parallel party administration" within the district, without letting in on that MLAs had been deliberately omitted out.
Five out of these six legislators were in Calcutta this Monday in which the recess continued during the 10th day of the ongoing Winter Session of the State Assembly.
According to insiders, Banerjee had made it sufficiently clear to the legislators that any decision regarding the matter would be taken only at the district-level organizational meeting.
Political observers feel that from this reply of the Chief Minister, it is clear that she wants to tread cautiously on this issue and take some time before taking a decision on the matter.
The six legislators from Nadia district who have signed the complaint letter are Bimalendu Sinha Roy from Karimpur, Rukbanur Rahman from Chapra, Kallol Khan from Nakashipara, Manik Bhattacharya from Palashipara, Ujjal Biswas from Krishnanagar-Dakshin, and Nasiruddin Ahmed from Kaliganj.
According to party insiders, the complaint by the six legislators against Moitra is that she is "totally bypassing the opinion of the local MLAs in replacing Block Presidents, Booth Presidents and Area Presidents in the district".
The Lok Sabha member was also accused of giving assurances to some local Trinamool leaders of nominating them as the party candidates in the 2026 Assembly elections, in place of the existing sitting legislators. They have also complained of her non-availability in different organisational programmes at the district level.
