The INDIA bloc suffered a mega setback after the assembly elections as two of its major political parties, the TMC and the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK), suffered electoral setbacks in West Bengal and Tamil Nadu respectively.
The Trinamul Congress (TMC) on Friday announced a major organisational overhaul at its national working committee meeting held at the party headquarters in Kalighat, appointing senior minister Chandrima Bhattacharya as the new president of the West Bengal Pradesh Trinamul Congress.
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.
The TMC, in a social media post, described the Prime Minister as a “political tourist” to West Bengal.
In West Bengal, days before the schedule for the Assembly election is announced, the battle lines appear clear, with the ruling Trinamool Congress and the state’s principal Opposition, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), in a direct contest for power, while the Left and the Congress are looking at improving their respective vote shares.
Just like the Congress’s no-confidence motion against Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, the Trinamool Congress (TMC)-led move to bring an impeachment motion against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar is unlikely to succeed.
The Trinamool Congress (TMC) sought to present the 'report card' on the development of the indigenous people of Bengal to President Droupadi Murmu.
The Trinamool Congress (TMC) on Friday moved an impeachment motionagainst Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar in both Housesof Parliament, accusing him of acting in favour of the rulingBharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on multiple occasions.
