West Bengal politics is currently in turmoil. Senior Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader Kunal Ghosh has made a shocking and shocking claim that has sent shockwaves through political circles. Ghosh claims that many MPs and MLAs who left the party now want to return to the TMC and are in constant contact with Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. He alleged that alleged police pressure is the reason these leaders are unable to openly return to their former party.
“Six MPs and More Than Half of the Rebel MLAs Are in Contact”
Kunal Ghosh made a major revelation, stating that leaders who left the TMC after the assembly elections and joined other parties are now repentant and eager to return. According to him, approximately six MPs and more than 50 percent of the rebel MLAs are in direct contact with Mamata Banerjee. However, citing political confidentiality and other reasons, he declined to reveal the names or exact numbers of any of the leaders.
Ghosh directly alleged that the leaders who were previously pressured to leave the party are now being prevented from returning. He made serious allegations of misuse of law enforcement agencies. Kunal Ghosh openly claimed, “If police pressure is removed even for a day, we can bring back 56 to 58 MLAs within 24 hours.”
Major statement amid Chandra Kumar Bose’s resignation
Kunal Ghosh’s sensational statement comes at a time when the TMC is already facing setbacks. Recently, Chandra Kumar Bose, grandson of party leader and great freedom fighter Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, resigned from the TMC’s primary membership, citing personal reasons. Chandra Kumar Bose had previously left the BJP and joined the TMC just before the assembly elections.
The TMC suffered significant political setbacks following the party’s political setbacks in the West Bengal Assembly elections. Following the election results, several MLAs rebelled and joined other parties. Furthermore, at the Lok Sabha level, several party MPs defected and joined the NDA-backed camp, impacting the TMC’s strength in Parliament.
On the other hand, the BJP is also tightening its discipline.
While discussions of rebellion and return to power within the TMC are rife, the BJP, West Bengal’s main opposition party, is also adopting a stricter stance on organizational discipline. Strict measures are being taken to maintain the party’s image in state politics. The BJP has issued a clear warning that any party worker found involved in cases such as extortion or extortion will face immediate action and be expelled from the party. This warning from the party leadership aims to maintain strict discipline within the organization and prevent any controversial activities.
