It's official now, the Trinamul Congress (TMC) party has split, with the majority of 59 out of 80 MLAs opting out of the party founded and led by Mamata Banerjee.
Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury on Wednesday likened the escalating turmoil within the Trinamul Congress to the political rebellion that split Maharashtra’s Shiv Sena, alleging that an “Eknath Shinde model” was unfolding in Bengal as a fraction of rebel legislators challenged the party leadership.
Speculation is rife in the national capital that West Bengal could soon witness a political upheaval similar to the Maharashtra model? There are indications that the Trinamool Congress (TMC) might face an internal divide the way Shiv Sena underwent a split in 2022.
