Amid growing speculation of internal cracks within the Trinamool Congress, party MP Shatrughan Sinha has come out strongly in support of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, reaffirming his unwavering loyalty to her leadership.

Speaking on Friday, Sinha dismissed all rumours of him switching sides or aligning with any other political party, including the Bharatiya Janata Party, and made it clear that he stands firmly with Mamata Banerjee during what he described as a “challenging time” for the party.

‘Mamata Banerjee is my only leader’

In a strong show of support, Sinha emphasised that his political allegiance remains unchanged.

“I was with her, and I will continue to be with her… I have no intention of going in any other direction.”

He added that Mamata Banerjee is not just a political figure but a leader he deeply respects.

“Mamata ji is my leader—not Abhishek or anyone else.”

His remarks come at a time when discussions around leadership dynamics within the TMC have intensified.

Backing ‘Didi’ in difficult times

Calling Mamata Banerjee a “mature, tried, tested and successful leader,” Sinha praised her political strength and resilience.

He highlighted the party’s electoral performance, noting that maintaining a 41% vote share in today’s competitive political landscape is no small achievement.

“I am with Mamata ji in this moment of trouble… I stand with the people’s happiness and sorrows,” he said.
