The All India Trinamool Congress (AITC) has officially distanced itself from P.V. Anvar, its former State convener, following his departure from the party. This decision came after Anvar allegedly leaked a letter he had written to West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee in November 2024. In this letter, Anvar made broad claims regarding his political influence in Kerala, which AITC later deemed misleading. Anvar had sought to join the Trinamool Congress after leaving the Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPI(M)) towards the end of his tenure as the Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) for Nilambur. The party's actions reflect a cautious approach to maintaining its integrity and political image amidst controversies surrounding Anvar's statements.
