Political unrest within the Trinamool Congress (TMC) is escalating, as veteran Rajya Sabha MP Sukhendu Sekhar Roy hinted at potential rebellion among TMC MPs. His remarks follow a significant revolt among MLAs, which has resulted in a major shift in the party's legislative leadership. Roy noted that the swift departure of approximately 60 MLAs is unprecedented and could signal similar dissent in the Lok Sabha, where the TMC holds 28 seats. He expressed his discontent with the party, stating that while he remains formally a member, he feels disconnected due to ongoing corruption allegations against party leaders. Roy's comments come amid a backdrop of increasing dissent within the TMC after its recent electoral losses, with several leaders publicly questioning the party's direction. His earlier warnings about the party's potential disintegration appear to be materializing, raising concerns about the TMC's future stability and leadership under Mamata Banerjee.
