TMC Leader Mitra Jumps Ship, Joining Rebel Faction Two Weeks Post Appointment
On Wednesday, Madan Mitra, a senior Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader who retained his Kamarhati seat in the 2026 West Bengal Assembly elections, quit the party and joined Ritabrata Banerjee's rebel faction. Mitra's resignation came two weeks after he was appointed TMC general secretary following their election defeat. This move further destabilizes TMC chief Mamata Banerjee, who recently lost her seat to BJP’s Suvendu Adhikari and faces a rebellion from 58 MLAs.
