23 Trinamool Congress MPs in touch with rebel camp: Sources

A political crisis is unfolding in West Bengal as twenty-three Trinamool Congress Lok Sabha members of Parliament are in contact with a rebel faction of the party, according to sources. This split among the members of Parliament is expected as early as next week. The development follows a rebellion by sixty members of the Legislative Assembly, whose leader claims to hold majority support while maintaining they remain within the party. To address the situation, a meeting is scheduled at the party chief's residence to discuss future strategies, potential court actions, and leadership guidelines. The party leadership has been holding daily discussions to determine their next steps but has not yet publicly disclosed their plans.
