Sukhendu Sekhar Roy quits Trinamool, meets party MPs, deepening trouble for Mamata
Trinamool 'rebel' MPs at BJP minister's home, Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu too
14 party MPs meet Suvendu
Sources revealed that 14 of the TMC's 29 Lok Sabha MPs later met BJP leader and CM Suvendu Adhikari, who reached Delhi on Monday as the political crisis within the Trinamool Congress spilled over into the national capital.
Blistering attack on 'aapa' by an insider ...
In his resignation letter to Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee, Sukhendu said the people of Bengal have "rejected the party's rampant corruption, extreme oppression of women, and its utter failure and the severe anarchy prevailing across sectors, including education, healthcare, industry, employment, and law and order."
As Mamata Banerjee seeks to retain her bargaining power at the INDI-alliance bloc meeting today, her leverage appears to be rapidly diminishing following the resignation of the party's Rajya Sabha chief whip, Sukhendu Sekhar Roy.
Around 20 Lok Sabha MPs are also meeting separately.
In a development reminiscent of last week's split in the Bengal Assembly, the Trinamool Congress's parliamentary wing also appeared to be heading in a similar direction, with at least five party MPs seen alongside Sukhendu shortly after his resignation in a photograph exclusively accessed by India Today.
All these after Mamata Banerjee lost her grip over the Trinamool Congress's MLAs.
More or less this is like a second wave of setbacks for her and her onetime powerful Bhaipo Abhishek Banerjee, Diamond Harbour MP.
Sukhendu Sekhar Roy is TMC's longest-serving member in the Rajya Sabha for over a decade.
Sukhendu Sekhar Roy further wrote: "The voters have, for the first time in Bengal’s history, given the Bharatiya Janata Party a massive victory in terms of seats.
The newly elected government has already begun working to implement multiple programmes for Bengal’s overall development and reconstruction, in line with its election promises."
Every TMC MP or MLA, who resigned none mentioned that it was Mamata's policy of appeasement of Muslims, in jobs and otherwise, and her decision to give the immigrants free hand to create violence after election results are announced has led to her and party's downfall. In 2021 despite winning the election there was no reason for TMC cadre to take law into their hands and kill people. Why aren't these leaders who are resigning mentioning this ? - Kirti Kulkarni, Bengaluru
ReplyDeleteVery catchy and interesting read. Political leverage is like sand in the hand—the tighter the grip, the faster it slips away.
