TMC Rajya Sabha MP Crisis Live : The TMC crisis has deepened dramatically, with the Mamata Banerjee-led party facing an unprecedented rebellion within its parliamentary ranks. In the latest setback for the party, Sushmita Dev resigned from the Trinamool Congress and stepped down from the Rajya Sabha, becoming the second MP to quit within a week after Sukhendu Sekhar Roy. The turmoil comes amid growing talk of a TMC split, with dissident leaders claiming that nearly 20 MPs are preparing to align with the BJP-led NDA.
The unfolding TMC news has also seen senior leaders openly criticise the party leadership, while reports suggest more MPs could follow Dev’s path. Adding to the uncertainty, Sayoni Ghosh has reportedly joined the rebel camp led by Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar, further weakening the party’s parliamentary position.
As pressure mounts on Mamata Banerjee, Trinamool Congress general secretary Abhishek Banerjee met Congress leader Rahul Gandhi in Delhi, a day after Mamata’s meeting with Sonia Gandhi to discuss opposition unity. With questions being raised over the future of the party and the shrinking TMC MP list, the rebellion has emerged as the biggest internal challenge faced by the Trinamool Congress in recent years.
