Trinamool Rebel, 10 MPs Meet BJP Leaders As Mamata Banerjee Attends INDIA Meet
Trinamool Congress is facing internal unrest following their defeat in the West Bengal assembly elections. At least 20 of its 41 MPs are reportedly in contact with the BJP, possibly planning to defect, and a closed-door meeting between at least 10 rebel MPs and BJP leaders in Delhi has intensified the turmoil. The rebels, including Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar, Shatabdi Roy, and others, plan to inform the Speaker tomorrow that they are the "real Trinamool" and form their own bloc within parliament. This shift in focus from West Bengal to Delhi comes after reports of dissent within the party, with some MPs refusing to attend party activities or addressing their leader by her usual title.
