In interviews with some media shops, the TMC stalwart took to revealing that the TMC’s soul was not within the cadre or the basic ethos with which the get together was based, however had as an alternative shifted within the fingers of some “corporate consultants”, in an obvious jibe at I-PAC chief Prashant Kishor.In truth, Dinesh Trivedi made use of a number of vivid metaphors and adjectives, embarrassing the TMC maybe like no different internal chief has in current previous. Trivedi’s friction with Mamata Banerjee and Prashant Kishor is just not notably unknown, and his variations with the get together date again to 2012, when he was unceremoniously eliminated as Railways Minister upon the insistence of Mamata Banerjee for not toeing the populist line.That Prashant Kishor has delegated all decision-making inside the TMC upon himself is not any secret. In truth, Dinesh Trivedi went on to name Prashant Kishor a “corporate adviser” which the TMC has of late come to swoon over. “When some insecure people become the leader of the party and their entire job is to backbite and hatch conspiracies then there is a serious problem in the party…I don’t think the party is anymore in control of Ms. Banerjee; it is being run by some corporate advisers.

That is not my value system. I cannot do that. If the Prime Minister does something good, we must appreciate it. And if the government does something wrong, we must draw their attention and emphatically oppose it while maintaining decorum,” Trivedi mentioned.Being the grasp orator, and election strategist that he’s, Dinesh Trivedi quitting the TMC comes as the newest shock to Mamata Banerjee – a big one at that. Already reeling beneath the strain of an endless exodus of leaders to the BJP, the TMC’s electoral fortunes within the state of West Bengal are shrinking with every passing day.
