Jitendra Tiwari resigned from the post of administrative head of the Asansol municipal corporation and president of the district unit in December last year. He had even shown possibilities of joining the BJP.

However, the TMC leader later changed his mind and decided to stay with the party. Now, he has been replaced by Apurba Mukhopadhyay as the TMC district president.

After being removed from the post, Tiwari said, “As an MLA and an ordinary worker, I will continue to serve my organisation. I am a member and trusted soldier of Mamata Banerjee. What else do I need?”

The reshuffles were announced after the party said that Satabdi Roy would be one of the vice-presidents of the state committee.
