The political crisis within the Trinamool Congress (TMC) escalated on Friday after a rebel faction led by expelled MLA Ritabrata Banerjee took control of Trinamool Bhavan, the party's organisational headquarters in Kolkata, shortly after an Election Commission hearing on the party split. The rebel group reportedly changed the locks and installed new signboards, claiming to represent the "real" TMC. The Mamata Banerjee-led faction called the takeover illegal and announced legal action against those involved. The development marks a major escalation in the ongoing battle over the party's leadership, organisation, and election symbol. (PC: India Today)
