Rebel TMC front captures prime Oppn status in assembly, deals blow to Mamata

In a significant political shift, Ritabrata Banerjee and Sandipan Saha, previously expelled from the Trinamool Congress (TMC), have been recognized as the leader and deputy leader of the Opposition in the assembly, marking a major setback for Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. This development underscores the growing dissent within the TMC ranks and could reshape the political landscape in West Bengal, potentially influencing upcoming elections and legislative dynamics. The move highlights internal fissures and could lead to further defections, challenging the TMC's dominance in state politics.
