Senior Trinamool Congress leader and Kamarhati MLA Madan Mitra has left the Mamata Banerjee-led faction and joined the rebel Trinamool camp headed by Ritabrata Banerjee, marking a major political setback for the party. Mitra resigned from all organisational posts, citing dissatisfaction with the leadership and alleging that Abhishek Banerjee refused to step aside despite internal differences. However, he said he had “only changed rooms, not the house,” insisting he still believes in the Trinamool ideology. His move is expected to deepen divisions within the party and reshape West Bengal's political landscape. (PC: The Hindu)
