The Trinamool Congress (TMC) is facing escalating internal strife as multiple Members of Parliament (MPs) are reportedly considering defecting to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). This turmoil is expected to intensify with another resignation anticipated within the next few days, further undermining the leadership of Mamata Banerjee. The situation is compounded by the arrival of TMC Lok Sabha MP Yusuf Pathan in Delhi, which has sparked speculation about his potential alignment with the rebel faction. The dissent among TMC lawmakers has raised questions about Banerjee's grip on the party, especially as she attempts to reposition herself on the national stage through the opposition alliance known as INDIA. Lok Sabha MP Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar, a prominent figure in the rebellion, confirmed that a group of MPs intends to formally support the National Democratic Alliance (NDA). The ongoing unrest poses significant challenges for the TMC's parliamentary strength and political strategy moving forward.
