Mamata & Abhishek Banerjee in Delhi, TMC mutiny spreads to Parliament
Trinamool Congress lurched towards its biggest rupture in 28 years Monday after rebel MP Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar claimed support of 20 MPs and wrote to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla seeking recognition as a separate parliamentary bloc that would back BJP-led NDA. If the numbers hold, rebels would clear the two-thirds threshold needed to shield themselves from anti-defection, handing Mamata Banerjee’s party its gravest challenge since its formation in 1998 and potentially opening a battle over...
Facing desertion by MPs, Mamata Banerjee clips Abhishek’s wings
Trinamool Congress was jolted Friday by speculation of an impending split in its parliamentary wing as several of the party’s 28 Lok Sabha MPs converged on Delhi, prompting party chief Mamata Banerjee to clip her nephew and national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee’s wings in a last-ditch attempt to stall a repeat of what the 58-strong rebel bloc did in the assembly.
