Politics: TMC faces major internal crisis as alleged letter with signatures of 19 rebel MPs surface

West Bengal’s ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) is facing a major political crisis after an alleged letter bearing the signatures of 19 MPs surfaced, suggesting a possible rebellion within the party. The reported signatories include prominent leaders such as Kakoli Ghosh, Shatabdi Roy, Yusuf Pathan and Sayani Ghosh. Since 19 MPs are considered the required support for forming a separate parliamentary group, the development has intensified speculation about an imminent split. The rebellion is reportedly driven by dissatisfaction with the leadership style and functioning of Abhishek Banerjee, with several party insiders expressing concerns over internal decision-making. Veteran leader Kalyan Banerjee’s public criticism has further highlighted tensions within the party. While some TMC leaders have accused the BJP of orchestrating the crisis, political observers and reports suggest that internal factionalism and organizational disputes are the primary reasons behind the unrest. The developments could have significant implications for West Bengal’s political landscape if the split formally takes place.
