Things inside Trinamool Congress seem to be getting very messy now . A suspended leader is claiming that around 50 MLAs are thinking of leaving the party and forming their own group. That is not small thing ah.
This leader,Riju Dutta,made these comments on June 2 . He is suggesting that these lawmakers might form something called the 'Asli Trinamool Congress .' And he is even comparing this whole situation to what happened with Shiv Sena in Maharashtra back in 2022 .
And this is not just some random claim apparently . Dutta told IANS that meeting happened recently . It was led by MLAs Sandipan Saha and Ritabrata Banerjee,and they discussed this whole split plan.
But both Saha and Banerjee were already expelled from Trinamool Congress . Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari announced their expulsion after there were allegations of anti-party activities against them.
Dutta directly said,"I have heard that these leaders want to split the Trinamool Congress and form a new party."
So few things are coming out from this whole issue:
- Major defection anticipated — Dutta claims around 50 MLAs are ready to leave the party.
- Leadership tensions — Anger against party general secretary Abhishek Banerjee is driving factor.
- Legal implications — Dutta argues that anti-defection law may not apply if the MLAs act collectively.
And honestly,the reasons for this anger are also becoming clear . Dutta mentioned that many leaders are not happy with the influence of I-PAC on party decisions . They feel it was just imposed on them without any real discussion .
This is where internal party fight is becoming public . You have one side planning to split,and on other side,you have leaders like Kunal Ghosh asking everyone to stay united and not listen to Banerjee .
It really feels like major shift could be coming in West Bengal politics . If this 'Asli Trinamool Congress' actually forms,it could change the entire political map of state,just like we saw in Maharashtra.
But is this just pressure tactic or something is really cooking behind the scenes… only time will tell…
