In 2022, TMC delegates voted to make Mamata Banerjee chairperson for life. The rebel faction replaced her with Arup Roy on June 22 without convening a single conference. Four police complaints followed within a day.
The TMC is fighting a civil war. Fifty-eight MLAs on one side, Mamata Banerjee on the other. Now one of her loyalists says the BJP government is picking winners through selective arrests. The Taratala case is the latest flashpoint.
The political developments gathered pace on Monday when senior leaders, including Firhad Hakim and Aroop Biswas, were seen in the special session of the rival faction at a five star hotel in the eastern fringes of the city.
The KMC currently has four-time Trinamool Congress legislator and former member in the previous Mamata Banerjee-led Cabinet, Firhad Hakim, as its Mayor.
Trinamool Congress chief and former West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Sunday launched a sharp attack against what she described as “bulldozer politics,” alleging that eviction and demolition drives in parts of Kolkata and Howrah were hurting poor families, hawkers, daily wage workers and small traders while undermining Bengal’s cultural and humanitarian values.
The government’s first week has been marked by aggressive administrative restructuring, arrests in politically sensitive cases, anti-syndicate drives, welfare announcements and renewed focus on border security and institutional reforms.
Following the incident, tension prevailed in Ward No. 36 of the Bidhannagar Municipal Corporation area.
In the 2026 Assembly elections in West Bengal, the BJP bagged 207 seats, marking an end to TMC government's 15-year rule. The Mamata Banerjee-led party was restricted to 80 seats.
