Overview

• Ghosh’s initial social media note praised the party’s IT cell for defending TMC online and accused several senior leaders of staying silent during controversies.
• Hours later he ruled out leaving, saying he would never quit even if he felt suffocated, and he thanked both Mamata Banerjee and Abhishek Banerjee for their support.
• He shared an image of Mamata Banerjee’s Bijoya Dashami letter and invoked a relationship dating back to 1987 to underscore his loyalty.
• The episode revived talk of an old-versus-new divide inside TMC, which reports describe as speculation and unconfirmed claims of opposing camps.
• As of earlier reports on Saturday, party leaders had not issued a formal response to Ghosh’s initial criticism.
