Trinamool Congress West Bengal MLA Ritabrata Banerjee To NDTV On What Next, "Backstabber" Label

Ritabrata Banerjee, expelled Trinamool Congress MLA, is challenging the Calcutta High Court recognition of a rebel bloc as the main Opposition party in West Bengal. Kalyan Banerjee, a senior Trinamool MP, has filed a petition contesting his claim to the post. Ritabrata Banerjee alleges forged signatures on party documents and claims that the rebel bloc's strength is higher than what was publicly acknowledged. The case hinges on whether the political party or the legislature party appoints the whip and leader, with parallels drawn from the Maharashtra political saga.
