TMC's rebel leader now LoP, ED summons Abhishek, mayor ‘quits’: Mamata faces many setbacks

The Trinamool Congress (TMC) is grappling with multiple setbacks as Ritabrata Banerjee has been named the new Leader of the Opposition in West Bengal, a significant blow to the party. The Enforcement Directorate has summoned Abhishek Banerjee, the TMC leader, which adds to the party's troubles. Adding to the woes, Firhad Hakim, the former mayor, has resigned from TMC, further weakening Mamata Banerjee's political standing. These developments come on the heels of TMC's substantial defeat against the Bharatiya Janata Party in the recent West Bengal Assembly elections, highlighting a challenging phase for the party as it navigates internal and external pressures.
