Mamata calls rebels "traitors," vows to save TMC family

Mamata Banerjee, the TMC supremo, addressed party rebels in a video address after their takeover of the party headquarters and the resignation of Chandrima Bhattacharya. She criticized those who left the party, calling them traitors and emphasizing her commitment to her workers over leaders. She also accused the BJP government of "state-sponsored terrorism" against TMC members and vowed to fight for the party's symbol despite recent rebel actions. Mamata Banerjee will now oversee the Bengal unit of the TMC, taking over from Bhattacharya, who resigned earlier in the day.
