On the other hand, the sword of arrest is also hanging on Mamata Banerjee’s nephew and party MP Abhishek Banerjee. Two FIRs have also been registered against Mamata Banerjee herself. This arrest of TMC leaders happened at a time when the party is already on the verge of collapse and has divided into two factions. 60 out of 80 MLAs are abandoning Mamata Banerjee and supporting rebel leader Ritabrata Banerjee. Ritabrata Banerjee has also received approval to be elected Leader of Opposition in the Bengal Assembly. Mamata Banerjee had made Shobhandeb Chattopadhyay the leader of opposition in the assembly. But TMC leaders came out openly against his decision.
