Trianmool's new A team: Mukul Roy kept at bay

February 14, 2015 19:07

Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee today carried out a major reshuffle in the party set-up, giving additional responsibilities to her close confidants and elevating former union minister Dinesh Trivedi to vice-president's post in an exercise that left her close aide Mukul Roy out in the cold.

"The Trinamool Congress has appointed Subrata Bakshi, a party MP, as additional all-India general secretary. He is a founder-member of the party," party secretary-general Partha Chatterjee told reporters after the meeting.

Mukul Roy, who has been made to share responsibility as all-India general secretary with Bakshi, a staunch Mamata loyalist, was conspicuous by his absence from the closed-door meeting convened at Mamata's residence to discuss the party's preparedness for the coming civic polls.
