Mamata Banerjee's Delhi visit comes days after 60 of the party's 80 MLAs backed expelled MLA Ritabrata Banerjee as the LoP in Assembly, dealing a major blow toTMC leadership.

The crisis within the Trinamool Congress (TMC) showed no sign of easing on Sunday as party chief Mamata Banerjee arrived in Delhi amid growing concerns that the rebellion which rocked the West Bengal Assembly could spread to Parliament.

The former West Bengal chief minister reached the national capital ahead of Monday’s INDIA bloc meeting, even as speculation intensified that a section of TMC MPs in both the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha may be considering a move similar to that made by rebel MLAs in the state Assembly.

The development comes days after around 60 of the party’s 80 MLAs backed expelled MLA Ritabrata Banerjee as the Leader of Opposition in the Assembly, dealing a major blow to the TMC leadership.

Mamata trying hard to prevent party split

According to party sources, efforts are underway to replicate the Assembly model in Parliament by forming a separate group within the party’s parliamentary wing and electing new leadership.

The TMC leadership is understood to be making a last-minute attempt to prevent a split, although several MPs are reportedly not in contact with the party leadership.

Rajya Sabha MP Sukhendu Sekhar Ray said the process had already begun in the Lok Sabha.

“There is a possibility and the process has already started as far as the Lok Sabha is concerned. What has happened in the West Bengal Assembly will be repeated in Lok Sabha so far as our party is concerned," he told.
