In a surprising turn of events, at least 20 MPs from the Trinamool Congress (TMC) have pledged their support to the ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA), which could drastically reduce the TMC's representation in the Lok Sabha to just eight members. Rebel MP Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar announced the decision, emphasizing that it followed extensive discussions among the MPs. This internal conflict within the TMC is compounded by Sukhendu Sekhar Roy's resignation from the Rajya Sabha, where he was seen meeting with other dissenting MPs, raising concerns about further defections. The TMC's leadership is facing criticism from party loyalists, such as Kunal Ghosh, who condemned the rebels for their perceived betrayal. The political landscape in New Delhi is becoming increasingly dynamic as these developments unfold, with meetings between TMC MPs and BJP leaders indicating a potential shift in alliances.
