Trinamool rebellion reaches Delhi: 20 party MPs in talks with Union Minister Bhupendra Yadav
Several Trinamool Congress MPs, including Howrah MP Prasun Banerjee and Bankura MP Anup Chakraborty, held a meeting at Bhupendra Yadav’s residence on June 8th, 2026. The meeting, which included 20 Lok Sabha MPs, aims to form a separate bloc and support the BJP-led NDA government. The rebellion comes after nearly 60 Trinamool MLAs elected Ritabrata Banerjee as Leader of Opposition, signaling a growing rift within the party. Suvendu Adhikari, who was likely present at the meeting, is emerging as a potential leader of this new bloc.
