The crisis within the Trinamool Congress (TMC) seems to intensify in the coming days with fresh developments indicating that the rebellion against the party
leadership is gaining momentum as several TMC MPs are reportedly considering switching allegiance to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), potentially escalating the political turmoil within the Mamata Banerjee-led party. According to sources, the rebel MPs currently do not have any scheduled appointment with the Lok Sabha Speaker and are unlikely to meet the Speaker on Tuesday as well, though further developments are awaited. The uncertainty comes amid ongoing speculation over the future course of action by the rebel lawmakers. Sources also suggest that another TMC Rajya Sabha MP is likely to resign within the next one or two days, potentially giving another blow to the Mamata Banerjee-led party. The expected resignation could further deepen the political turbulence within the party. Adding to the buzz, TMC Lok Sabha MP Yusuf Pathan is expected to arrive in Delhi soon, sparking speculation that he may also align himself with the rebel camp. However, no official confirmation regarding his political plans have been received. The development came amid the ongoing challenges faced by TMC leadership due to the growing internal dissent. With more resignations reportedly on the horizon and key leaders under watch, the unfolding revolt could have significant implications for the party's parliamentary strength and political strategy in the months ahead.
Mamata's TMC Faces Turmoil
The Trinamool Congress' internal turmoil has taken a massive turn with a group of rebel MPs openly challenging Mamata Banerjee's leadership and moving closer to the BJP-led NDA.The face-off comes days after a revolt was started by TMC legislators in the Bengal Assembly. Now, dissident MPs claim they have the numbers to chart an independent political course, raising questions about Mamata Banerjee's grip over the party. Notably, the development came at a time when she was attempting to reposition herself at the national level through the INDIA bloc.
Confirming the tussle, Lok Sabha MP Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar, who has emerged as the face of the rebellion in Parliament, said a group of MPs had decided to formally declare support for the NDA.
