A major political split has hit the Trinamool Congress after 20 rebel Lok Sabha MPs announced their merger with the Nationalist Citizens Party of India (NCPI) and declared support for the NDA. The dissident MPs have also approached Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla seeking separate seating arrangements in Parliament. The move is seen as a strategy to avoid immediate legal hurdles under the anti-defection law while creating a new political bloc. The development could significantly alter the parliamentary strength of the NDA and deepen the crisis within the Trinamool Congress. (PC: India Today)
