The Trinamool Congress (TMC) is facing a major political crisis in West Bengal after nearly 100 councillors resigned from different municipalities. The resignations came after the BJP government announced scrutiny of local bodies. Several TMC leaders are also openly showing dissatisfaction with the party leadership. TMC MP Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar resigned from her party post and attended a BJP-led meeting, raising rumours of a possible switch. Municipal services in some areas have been affected due to the crisis. The unrest has increased pressure on Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee as the BJP tries to strengthen its position in Bengal.
