The Trinamool Congress (TMC) on Tuesday hit back at rebel MPs, with senior leader Kalyan Banerjee saying those who no longer support the party should step down. "If someone has differences of opinion with the party... and instead chooses to support someone else, then it is their moral responsibility to resign," he said. Banerjee also praised former Rajya Sabha MP Sukhendu Sekhar Roy's resignation, saying he had "upheld ethical standards and political morality." He questioned the rebel camp's claim that around 20 TMC Lok Sabha MPs were ready to back the NDA, asking why the alleged letter to the Lok Sabha Speaker had not been made public.
