India, June 12 -- As the internal turmoil within the All India Trinamool Congress continues to deepen, senior party MP Shatrughan Sinha on Friday firmly backed Mamata Banerjee, making it clear that his loyalty lies solely with the party chief and not with her nephew Abhishek Banerjee.

Amid growing reports of factionalism in the TMC, Sinha came out strongly in support of Mamata Banerjee, calling her his "only leader" and vowing to stand by her during what he described as a difficult phase for the party.
