Internal Party Conflicts and Leadership Challenges in Trinamool Congress

The Trinamool Congress (TMC), once the dominant political force in West Bengal, is facing a severe crisis marked by mass defections and internal rebellion.

A significant number of MPs, including prominent figures like Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar and Satabdi Roy, have split from Mamata Banerjee's leadership to form a separate faction, signaling the party's deepest crisis since its inception.

This revolt, coupled with the loss of key parliamentary seats in both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, has raised serious questions about the party's future and organisational strength.The defections have not only weakened the TMC's parliamentary presence but also exposed vulnerabilities in its leadership structure.

Despite the turmoil, loyalists like Abhishek Banerjee, Derek O'Brien, and Mahua Moitra continue to support Banerjee, while some arrested leaders like Jahangir Khan remain influential in local politics.
