TMC vs TMC out in open: Major setback for Mamata as rebel MLAs claim support of nearly 50 MLAs

Tensions within the Trinamool Congress (TMC) have escalated dramatically as rebel MLAs publicly claim the backing of nearly 50 party members, posing a significant challenge to Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. On May 9, a faction led by Abhishek Banerjee proposed a party leader for the opposition, while two other MLAs complained about the process, alleging irregularities. This internal conflict could potentially weaken TMC's standing in West Bengal, where party unity has been crucial for maintaining its political dominance.
