Internet, June 12: Reports of internal unrest in the Trinamool Congress have intensified after national media claimed that 19 Lok Sabha MPs submitted signatures on a letter backing a rebel move against party chief Mamata Banerjee. The developments have not been officially confirmed by the party leadership.
The reported signatories are said to include senior leaders such as Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar, Shatabdi Roy, June Malia, Saayoni Ghosh and Yusuf Pathan. Reports also suggest another leader could join the dissident group.
TMC Split Reports Trigger Political Debate
According to media reports, the alleged letter seeks recognition for a separate parliamentary grouping and has added to speculation over a possible split within the party. Some reports claimed the rebel camp believes it has enough numerical support to strengthen its position under parliamentary rules.
The developments come after the Trinamool Congress faced electoral setbacks in West Bengal, leading to internal criticism over leadership and strategy, according to reported claims from dissident leaders.
Some rebel leaders have publicly alleged that decision making within the party had become concentrated and that senior voices were not receiving adequate space. These remarks have been attributed to internal dissatisfaction within sections of the party.
At the same time, senior leader Shatrughan Sinha rejected speculation about leaving the party and said he would continue to stand with Mamata Banerjee. He stated that he would not change his political position during a difficult phase for the party.
Meanwhile, TMC leaders have questioned the authenticity of the circulating signatures and rejected claims of a major split.
