TMC MLAs, Abhishek Banerjee attack: Only 20 attend Mamata Banerjee Kalighat meeting
Large-scale MLA absence raises concerns about internal party conflict and potential instability.
TMC General Secretary Abhishek Banerjee was attacked on Saturday, leading to a low turnout at a legislative party meeting called by Mamata Banerjee. Only 20 of the 80 newly elected MLAs attended the meeting at her residence. The absence of nearly three-fourths of the legislators raised concerns, but TMC spokesperson Kunal Ghosh stated that many were protesting against alleged political violence and police action against party workers. The party announced plans for protests in rural areas and urban wards on Monday, followed by a sit-in led by Mamata Banerjee at Rani Rashmoni Road on Tuesday.
