Speaking in the West Bengal Assembly, the CM urged people to remain calm and not get provoked by statements made in Bangladesh, stating that West Bengal will always stand by any decision taken by the Centre.

The Congress, meanwhile, has sought to reaffirm Rahul Gandhi's role as the "unifying force" in the INDIA bloc while several Opposition parties from within the grouping have said they are not averse to a leadership change through consensus.

Earlier this week, Banerjee said she could manage the dual responsibility of running the opposition front while continuing her role as the chief minister of West Bengal.

On the ongoing debate about prioritising the younger generation or experienced leaders, Banerjee maintained a balanced approach, stating, "Everyone is important. Today's newcomer will be tomorrow's veteran."

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has set a separate agenda for MPs of the Trinamool Congress to raise in the Winter Session of Parliament, signalling that it was not comfortable toeing the Congress' line.

In a statement to reporters outside his residence, accompanied by his daughter Sukanya, Mondal reaffirmed his loyalty to TMC supremo and Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.

The decisions regarding all the water releases are taken by a committee, which has members from West Bengal and Jharkhand governments and other central and DVC officials.
