Senior TMC leader Abhishek Banerjee on Thursday cautioned party workers against violating party discipline and said those partymen who will contest as Independents will never be welcomed back into the party fold.

The senior TMC leader, who is number two in the party after TMC supremo Mamata Banerjee, said those who will work against the party’s interest will never receive any recognition.

“No one is above party discipline, not me, not you. Even if I am not happy with the candidate, if the party has decided on someone, you have to support the party candidate,” he said in an interaction with party workers.
