Following the TMC's electoral defeat in West Bengal, internal conflict has escalated as two expelled MLAs, Sandipan Saha and Ritabrata Banerjee, claimed the support of 59 MLAs. They submitted a letter to the Speaker seeking recognition for a new group. A minimum of 54 MLAs (two-thirds) is required for legal recognition. The rebels held a meeting at the Kolkata MLA hostel where several key leaders were reportedly present. This move hints at a potential split within Mamata Banerjee's party, with Ritabrata Banerjee potentially eyeing the post of Leader of the Opposition. https://zeenews.india.com/hindi/zeeodisha/national-international/uprooted-from-its-roots-tmc-in-turmoil-rebel-mlas-claim-the-support-of-59-mlas/3236510 #creator program
