Earlier on Friday, another rebel TMC MP Jagdish Basunia claiming that their faction is the “real TMC,” echoing the political churn in Maharashtra in 2022 when Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde split the Shiv Sena.
The TMC revolt reached its parliamentary ranks earlier this week when a group of at least 20 rebel MPs met Bhupender Yadav on Monday, to discuss their plan of switching their allegience to the BJP.
The Mamata Banerjee-led party has been hit by several high-profile resignations, public criticism from former leaders and growing unrest among a large section of its MPs.
The TMC supremo has earlier met Congress Parliamentary party chairperson Sonia Gandhi while the former was in the national capital for the INDIA bloc meeting as her party faced unprecendented crisis after its recent drubbing in the West Bengal assembly polls.
