Trinamool Congress Crisis Sharmila Sarkar: "20 Trinamool MPs Forming New Bloc, Will Support NDA": Rebel MP To NDTV
Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar and 20 other Trinamool Congress MPs plan to join the NDA coalition, formally writing to Speaker Om Birla. The group, led by Ghosh Dastidar as chief whip, will form a separate bloc with Shatabdi Roy as deputy leader. This move follows similar actions in West Bengal where 58 MLAs formed a rival bloc, mirroring the Shiv Sena's strategy. The decision comes after discussions and is seen as a response to Mamata Banerjee's leadership style and recent party decisions.
