Reports indicate growing political tension within the Trinamool Congress (TMC), with speculation of a possible internal split gaining momentum in West Bengal politics. Two rebel MLAs, Rita Vrita and Sandeep Shah, have reached the state Assembly and claimed that a large number of TMC legislators are supporting them. They have alleged that most MLAs of the party are aligned with their camp, suggesting a potential shift in legislative support. However, these claims remain unverified and would require official confirmation through procedural steps such as submission of signed letters to the Assembly Speaker or a formal floor test. The issue has gained attention after reports that several TMC MLAs were absent from a recent key meeting called by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. This absence has triggered discussions about possible internal dissatisfaction within the party. Political observers note that the situation is still unclear, as rival claims are being made by different factions. The BJP has also commented on the development, suggesting that a larger political realignment may be possible if numbers fall in place. At present, the final position depends on verification by the Assembly Speaker and official validation of claimed MLA support, making the situation politically sensitive but unresolved.
