'Will Sit Separately': TMC Rebel MP Jagadish Basunia On TMC Split

TMC rebel MP Jagadish Basunia has confirmed that a group of MPs has moved the Lok Sabha Speaker to form a separate bloc within the party, claiming the support of around 20 MPs. The rebels say they will sit independently in Parliament and extend outside support to the NDA, while rejecting claims of coercion and citing the need to address ground-level concerns and development issues in West Bengal.
