Resignations, rebels, resentments.
The Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool is facing an existential crisis and it shows no signs of abating.
Lok Sabha MP Satabdi Roy, who is part of the rebel camp, told NDTV that a letter signed by a total of 19 Trinamool lawmakers has been submitted to Speaker Om Birla. A 20th - a 'big name', sources said - could sign soon.
The rebels, the letter states, wish to distance themselves from the party and align with the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA).
