TMC Rebel MPs News: A Masterstroke to Avoid Legal Pitfalls
The rebel MPs decided to merge with this regional party as part of a well-thought-out legal strategy, rather than forming a separate faction or block in Parliament. Forming a new independent faction posed the risk of technical and legal disqualification. This merger was used as a legal shield to avoid this. Sudip Bandyopadhyay, who rebelled against Mamata Banerjee, explained that when you leave a party with a two-thirds majority, you cannot stake claim to the original party’s name on the first day. This is a parliamentary rule.

Will stake claim to the real TMC; Court to decide
Sudip Bandyopadhyay stated that during the monsoon session of Parliament in July, this faction will stake claim to the Trinamool Congress name and symbol before the Election Commission and the court. After this, the entire matter will go to court for legal battle. This mega-merger, which broke the backbone of the opposition camp just before the upcoming monsoon session of Parliament, has completely destroyed the national political existence of Mamata Banerjee and Abhishek Banerjee.
