In response to a faction within the Trinamool Congress (TMC) claiming that 20 of its 28 Lok Sabha MPs have aligned with the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), senior party leader Kalyan Banerjee has called for those dissatisfied with the party to resign. During a press conference, Banerjee expressed his discontent with the actions of the rebel group, led by Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar, stating that it is their moral responsibility to step down if they have grievances against the party. He emphasized that if their actions embarrass the party or if they no longer wish to remain affiliated, they should resign rather than undermine the TMC's position. This internal strife has been exacerbated by the recent resignation of TMC leader Sukhendu Sekhar Roy from the Rajya Sabha, who has made allegations that may further complicate the party's dynamics. Banerjee's statements reflect a growing concern within the TMC about maintaining party unity and addressing dissenting voices effectively.
