The Trinamool Congress crisis has intensified, with the rebel faction led by Ritabrata Banerjee reportedly reaching out to Lok Sabha MPs amid an escalating power struggle within the party. After securing support from a large group of rebel MLAs and gaining recognition in the Assembly, the dissidents are now eyeing TMC's parliamentary wing. The rebels maintain that their fight is not against Mamata Banerjee but against the growing influence of Abhishek Banerjee. Reports suggest efforts are underway to win over MPs, raising the possibility of a leadership challenge in Parliament and further deepening the biggest internal split in TMC's 28-year history.
