Mamata Banerjee In INDIA Bloc Meet, Rebel TMC MPs Huddle In Delhi

The political turbulence within the Trinamool Congress appears to have shifted from Kolkata to Delhi. In a major development, several TMC MPs were seen attending a closed-door meeting in the national capital, barely a kilometre away from where Mamata Banerjee was participating in the INDIA bloc meeting alongside opposition leaders. Among those present were several senior parliamentarians, including leaders known to be close to the TMC chief. The meeting gains significance because it comes amid growing reports of internal dissent within the party and follows the resignation of senior leader Sukhendu Sekhar Roy from both the Rajya Sabha and the party. With phones reportedly switched off and discussions taking place away from the party leadership, speculation is mounting over whether the unrest within the TMC is now spreading from the Assembly to Parliament. The focus is now on whether the leaders meet Mamata Banerjee, approach the Lok Sabha Speaker, or chart a new political course in the days ahead.
