A major political crisis has erupted within the Trinamool Congress (TMC) after 19 Lok Sabha MPs, including prominent leaders such as Saayoni Ghosh, Yusuf Pathan, and Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar, reportedly signed a letter seeking recognition as a separate parliamentary group. The move signals deep internal dissent within the party led by Mamata Banerjee. The rebel bloc is said to have crossed the two-thirds threshold required under anti-defection rules and has expressed support for the NDA in Parliament, potentially reshaping political equations at the national level.
