Satabdi Roy, a four-time Member of Parliament from the Trinamool Congress, has publicly criticized party leader Mamata Banerjee, stating that she has changed significantly over the years. In an interview with NDTV, Roy expressed her disappointment with the party's leadership, particularly regarding issues of corruption and limited access to decision-making roles. She stated, "Didi badal gayi thi," indicating a personal emotional connection to Banerjee that has been strained by recent developments. Roy is now leading a faction of approximately 20 rebel MPs who have pledged their support to the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), marking a significant shift in allegiance. The rebels have voiced concerns about being undermined within the party, claiming that only a select few had access to Banerjee, while their own requests and voices were largely ignored. Roy emphasized that her decision to leave the party stems from a desire to work for the people of her constituency and to address the corruption she has witnessed within the party ranks. She rejected any notion of needing the party's support to maintain her image, asserting that her reputation remains untarnished.
