The political rift within the Trinamool Congress deepened after Dr. Baidyanath Ghosh Dastidar, son of rebel MP Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar, sent a legal notice to party chief Mamata Banerjee over claims that he had sought the TMC ticket from the Barasat Assembly constituency. In the notice, he denied ever asking for the nomination and demanded that the statement be withdrawn. The development comes amid an ongoing rebellion within the party, with several MPs challenging the leadership. The legal move is seen as the latest sign of growing tensions inside the TMC ahead of key political battles in West Bengal.
