The article analyzes the defection of TMC MLAs and MPs, suggesting they are merely imitating Mamata Banerjee's own political history of frequent alliances and switches. Over the last 30 years, Mamata has aligned with and then abandoned both the BJP and Congress multiple times for political gains. From forming TMC in 1998 by leaving Congress to joining the NDA and later the UPA, her career is marked by shifting stances. The article argues that the current rebels joining the BJP without resigning their seats are using the same tactics Mamata once employed to weaken the opposition by breaking their MLAs. https://www.satyahindi.com/analysis/mamta-banerjee-politics-tmc-rebels-nirendra-nagar-analysis-153966.html #creator program
