Senior TMC leader and MP Kalyan Banerjee on Thursday issued an ultimatum to its supremo Mamata Banerjee to choose between her nephew Abhishek Banerjee and veterans like him, accusing the party national general secretary of “arrogance” and “fluctuating mindset”.

The Lok Sabha MP from Sreerampur lashed out at Abhishek, alleging that the latter showed “no respect” for his “45-year professional experience”. “I am not to be treated like a dustbin or an employee,” Kalyan asserted and said the ball is now in Mamata’s court to decide on whether to run the TMC with her nephew or with party loyalists.
