The most sensational and shocking news of this time is coming out from the political corridors of West Bengal, which has created an earthquake in the entire politics of the state. After losing the post of Chief Minister, now Mamata Banerjee led Trinamool Congress (TMC) seems to be standing on the verge of the biggest collapse in history. According to the increasingly intense speculations in political circles, a split within TMC is considered almost certain and about 60 MLAs of the party have made full preparations to extend their open support to senior leader Ritabrata Banerjee. However, no official statement has come out yet regarding this entire incident, but it is expected that today i.e. on Wednesday, these rebel MLAs may unite and submit a collective letter of support to the Speaker of the West Bengal Assembly. If these speculations prove to be true, then TMC will be completely divided into two separate factions of 60 and 20 and the status of the main opposition party in the West Bengal Assembly will also be lost forever from the hands of Mamata Banerjee faction.
Letter can be handed over to Assembly Speaker today, claim made in the name of ‘real TMC’
According to the report of a reputed English newspaper, the strategists of this alleged new group formed after breaking away from TMC have made a big claim of getting the huge support of 60 out of the total 80 TMC MLAs in the Assembly. A top leader of the rebel group, on the condition of anonymity, said that our official letter to get recognition as a new and independent group is completely ready, because we are the ‘real TMC’ at the grassroots level. The leaders of the rebel group are going to meet the newly appointed Speaker of West Bengal Assembly Rathindranath Bose on Wednesday itself and hand over this historic letter to him. Sources say that all these 60 MLAs are strongly supporting the candidature of Ritabrata Banerjee and his political leadership. On the other hand, very senior TMC leader Shobhandev Chattopadhyay still claims that most of the party MLAs will stand with Mamata Banerjee with full devotion.
There are signs of historical break between Maharashtra and Shiv Sena, Minister’s statement increased the stir
Amidst this political turmoil in Bengal, a fresh and explosive statement by West Bengal Minister Tapas Roy has heated up the market of discussions. Tapas Roy has openly claimed that at this time clear signs of a big and historic political breakdown like Maharashtra are visible within the Trinamool Congress. Taking aim at his own old party, he said that with time TMC had included many such people in its fold, who had no deep connection with real politics and ideology. Because of this, now the serious internal differences, mutual conflicts and deep contradictions of the party have become fully visible on the surface, which is no longer in anyone’s power to handle.
Secret meeting held in MLA hostel, politics heated up with puffed rice diplomacy
Ritabrata Banerjee, the leader at the center of this entire political storm, himself spoke openly to media persons and journalists after coming out of the assembly complex. He admitted in a very light manner that he had definitely met some special MLAs in the MLA hostel and they had sat together and eaten puffed rice. However, when journalists asked him sharp questions about the arrival of more than 50 MLAs with him and the new rebellion, he flatly refused to make any direct comment on it. He only said that he believes in the strategy of ‘moving forward one day at a time’ in politics. Let us tell you that TMC had recently taken strict action and expelled two senior MLAs including Ritabrata Banerjee from the party on serious charges of anti-party activities.
Said the paper with signatures is just an attendance sheet, protested in the name of Shobhandev Chattopadhyay
Giving another big blow to the camp of former Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, Ritabrata Banerjee made a sensational claim that no valid and formal resolution had been passed in the past regarding electing senior party leader Shobhandev Chattopadhyay as the Leader of the Opposition (LoP) in the Assembly. According to Banerjee, the paper on which signatures of all the party MLAs were taken during the recent TMC meeting was actually not a consent letter but merely a general attendance sheet. After this claim, big question marks have been raised on the legal and constitutional claims of Mamta group.
Mamata Banerjee’s own MPs and MLAs were missing from the protest, the first major mobilization was a flop
Amidst all this political development, another big news has come out from the news agency Varta. After the crushing defeat of Trinamool Congress in the West Bengal Assembly elections, Mamata Banerjee had organized her first major political mobilization and protest on Tuesday at the Y-channel of Kolkata’s famous Esplanade. But the very small crowd of people at the huge protest stage near the Y-Channel bus stand for this high-profile protest and the mysterious absence of many veteran MPs and MLAs of the party remained a matter of great discussion in the entire state. The fact that senior leaders of one’s own party did not reach Mamata’s platform is a clear indication that the spark of rebellion within the party has now taken the form of a big fire.
