TMC Crisis Deepens As MP Quits, Rebel Group Challenges Abhishek Banerjee

The crisis within the Trinamool Congress has escalated dramatically with senior Rajya Sabha MP Sukhendu Sekhar Ray resigning from both Parliament and the party. In a scathing attack, Ray cited corruption, deteriorating law and order, and atrocities against women under TMC rule. His exit comes amid reports of growing dissent among TMC MPs, with sources claiming several lawmakers are considering functioning as a separate group. The rebels are reportedly backing Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar over Abhishek Banerjee, signaling a direct challenge to the party's leadership structure. As meetings between rebels and key political figures fuel speculation, Mamata Banerjee faces one of the toughest internal challenges of her political career.
