West Bengal is witnessing a historic political earthquake mirroring the Shiv Sena and NCP rebellions of Maharashtra. First-time TMC MLA Ritabrata Banerjee has led a dramatic revolt backed by 60 out of 80 TMC legislators comfortably crossing the two-thirds anti-defection threshold. Appointed as the new Leader of the Opposition, Ritabrata’s rebel faction isn't attacking Mamata Banerjee; instead, their fury is entirely directed at her nephew, Abhishek Banerjee, for running the party like a corporate entity. With Firhad Hakim resigning as Kolkata Mayor and the ED closing in on Abhishek, Didi faces her ultimate political dilemma.
