This coincided with a party leadership vs party rebel confrontation in the Trinamool Congress that worsened on Tuesday with the party’s leader accusing a faction of MPs of preparing to support the NDA in Parliament.
TMC Lok Sabha Chief Whip Kalyan Banerjee, delivering a press conference, branded the recalcitrant members as “traitors” and challenged them to resign from the party and get a new mandate from the voters. The rebels were “exposed” by Banerjee when they met a high-ranking BJP leader Bhupender Yadav, and alleged that they were indulging in the privileges of office while abandoning party workers.
The remarks are made hours after the Lok Sabha MP and rebel leader Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar had announced that leading Trinamool leaders had decided to write to Speaker Om Birla to express their support for the NDA.
