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.
Ever since Suvendu Adhikari-led government came into power, there have been multiple instances of angry citizens pelting eggs on Trinamool Congress leaders.

On the question of TMC's merger with the Congress, Roy didn't rule out the possibility and suggested both options - a merger and alliance - are on the table.
The Asansol MP said that Mamata stood by him during his difficult times and therefore it is his duty to stand with her while she faces the rebellion by some of her most-trusted lieutenants.
Blaming the TMC's huge electoral blow in the last assembly elections and the subsequent slew of resignations that have hit the party, Banerjee said, "He (Abhishek) needs to understand that it is because of him that we lost."
