Trinamool Congress in Bengal faces hard times as leaders rebel against Mamata Banerjee ahead of Assembly election

The Hindu  

THE political situation in West Bengal is in a state of flux, with twists and turns taking place almost every day as the 2021 Assembly election in the State draws near. For Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, whose government has been on the ropes over allegations of corruption at the grassroots and mishandling of the COVID crisis, the state of disarray within her party is a major cause for concern, particularly with the BJP waiting with open arms to welcome dissident Trinamool leaders into its fold. In the letter, dated December 1 and addressed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and to the Chief Minister, Sudipta Sen alleged that Suvendu Adhikari and several top leaders of the Congress and the Communist Party of India had taken “financial advantage” from him. They include Adhir Ranjan Chowdhuri, who allegedly took Rs.6 crore, Sujan Chakraborty, Mukul Roy, Suvendu Adhikari, Biman Bose, “and some other political leaders of CPI, BJP, Congress and TMC ”. A source in the Trinamool admitted that while Suvendu Adhikari’s exit will be a “big blow” for the party, it is also important to close the issue.
