We are the largest parliamentary force from West Bengal: NCPI in a social media post
The Nationalist Citizens Party of India (NCPI), a little-known regional party based in Howrah district, claims to have become the largest parliamentary force from West Bengal after 20 Trinamool Congress MPs merged with the party. Om Birla, the Lok Sabha Speaker, received the letter of merger from the rebel MPs. The NCPI, led by Uttiya Kundu and his wife Shewly Kundu, has a history of contesting local elections but did not participate in the 2024 Lok Sabha or 2026 West Bengal Assembly elections. The party's Facebook page was created on June 15, 2026, after the merger announcement.
