In a sensational interview, former Trinamool Congress spokesperson Riju Dutta made a series of explosive claims about the growing turmoil within the TMC and the apparent disconnect between the party leadership and its elected representatives.
Questioning the poor turnout at Mamata Banerjee's recent protest, Dutta asked why only a handful of MPs and MLAs responded to the party chief's call despite the demonstration being linked to an attack on Abhishek Banerjee. He alleged that several leaders either ignored calls from the party leadership, switched off their phones, or offered excuses for not attending.
