A key development has taken place in West Bengal politics. A faction of rebel MLAs in the Trinamool Congress has announced the removal of party chief Mamata Banerjee from the post of chairperson. The faction led by Opposition Leader Ritabrata Banerjee held a special meeting and elected a new executive. The rebel leaders said that all the party’s affairs were conducted legally and that they would also inform the Election Commission. However, Mamata Banerjee’s followers dismissed these actions and commented, “There will be no Trinamool without Mamata.” The internal differences that began after the 2026 assembly elections have now turned into an open political fight. Analysts believe that these developments are likely to lead to new equations in state politics.
