The Mamata All India Trinamool Congress (MAITC) faction, which backs former West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, on Saturday (October 3, 2026) wrote to Rajya Sabha Chairman C.P. Radhakrishnan to protest its exclusion from the chairpersonship of any of the eight Department-related Parliamentary Standing Committees under the Upper House’s jurisdiction.

In his letter, dated October 3, 2026, the party’s Rajya Sabha leader Derek O’Brien, referring to the latest Parliamentary Bulletin announcing the reconstitution of the committees for 2026-27, noted that the Trinamool Congress remains the third-largest party in the Rajya Sabha. The Trinamool Congress, he said, had chaired a committee in both 2024-25 and 2025-26, but has now been denied any chairpersonship.
