Mamata's move after being replaced as 'TMC chief' amid rebellion| Bengal| Ritabrata Banerjee

The political crisis within the Trinamool Congress (TMC) deepened on June 22 as a rebel faction claimed to have removed Mamata Banerjee as party chairperson and elected senior MLA Arup Roy to the post. The move comes amid mounting turmoil within the party following its defeat in the recent West Bengal Assembly elections. According to reports, the rebel camp claimed that a majority of TMC legislators and several former civic representatives backed the special session that approved a new leadership structure. The Mamata Banerjee camp swiftly responded by submitting a fresh list of office bearers and national working committee members to the Election Commission, asserting that she remains the legitimate head of the party. #MamataBanerjee #TMC #TrinamoolCongress HT India is your one-stop destination for breaking news, sharp insights and compelling narratives on politics, culture, economy, crime and viral stories.
