The Trinamool Congress (TMC) meeting scheduled for Sunday was cancelled after only 20 of the 80 newly elected MLAs attended. The low turnout was attributed to a 'sudden and emergent ground situation' following violent incidents involving TMC leaders, including an attack on national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee. TMC spokesperson Kunal Ghosh stated that the absent MLAs were focused on managing protests and supporting arrested party workers. Despite the cancellation, informal discussions occurred with those present. Ghosh announced plans for heightened protests against the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government, including rallies at block levels and a day-long sit-in led by Mamata Banerjee in Kolkata. These actions aim to address the violence faced by TMC members and the ongoing issues related to hawker evictions across the state.
