A group of rebel Trinamool Congress (TMC) MPs met in New Delhi on Monday to discuss their future strategy [1].
The meeting signals a potential second internal revolt within the party. If these lawmakers break away, it could significantly weaken the TMC's legislative strength and challenge the leadership of Mamata Banerjee.
The lawmakers convened to address growing dissent within the party ranks [1]. According to reports, the discussions focused on the possibility of breaking away from the TMC entirely [1]. This movement stems from concerns regarding the party's current direction under the leadership of Mamata Banerjee [1].
While the specific number of MPs attending the meeting was not disclosed, the gathering in the capital suggests a coordinated effort to seek an alternative political path [1]. The rebels are evaluating their options as internal turmoil continues to affect the party's cohesion [1].
New Delhi has become the focal point for this strategic deliberation, a location that often precedes formal shifts in parliamentary alliances. The TMC has not issued a formal response to the meeting, but the gathering underscores a volatile period for the party's internal hierarchy [1].

This gathering represents a critical challenge to the centralized authority of Mamata Banerjee. A mass defection of MPs would not only diminish the TMC's influence in Parliament but could also embolden opposition parties to intensify their efforts to destabilize the party's regional stronghold.
