Mahua Moitra, a Member of Parliament from the Trinamool Congress (TMC), has launched a fierce attack against a faction of her party that is reportedly looking to support the National Democratic Alliance (NDA). In a post on X, she stated that these MPs owe their electoral success to the TMC and should resign if they wish to switch allegiances. Moitra specifically called out TMC MP Yusuf Pathan, urging him to show courage and integrity. Meanwhile, nearly 20 TMC MPs have signaled their intention to break away from the party and support the BJP-led NDA, with rebel MP Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar confirming this development. The dissident group is attempting to ensure their move complies with the anti-defection law, which requires two-thirds of a party's strength for a legal merger. This potential shift could significantly impact the political dynamics in West Bengal and at the national level.
