West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's recent visit to Delhi was characterized by an unusual silence and a lack of political activity, contrasting sharply with her previous trips. This time, only a small circle of Trinamool Congress (TMC) leaders, including Abhishek Banerjee and Derek O'Brien, accompanied her, leading to concerns about internal party dynamics. Reports indicate that approximately 20 TMC MPs have expressed support for the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), suggesting a potential breakaway faction within the party. This claim, made by senior MP Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar, has not been verified but highlights growing discontent among party members. Additionally, the absence of several female MPs during her visit raised eyebrows, as such gatherings are typically expected when the party leader is in the capital. The atmosphere at traditional meeting points for TMC leaders was notably subdued, reflecting the party's struggles to maintain cohesion amid allegations of corruption and political scrutiny. The contrast with the Congress party's organizational strength further emphasizes the TMC's challenges in navigating its internal conflicts.
