Rebel TMC MP Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar on Sunday said two more parliamentarians were set to join the dissident group, which would take its strength in the Lok Sabha to 22.

Ghosh Dastidar said the dissident MPs would meet Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla on Monday and seek recognition as a separate parliamentary bloc.

"We are going to Delhi for a meeting. Twenty-two MPs are with us. The Speaker has given us time. We will meet him on Monday and seek recognition as a separate bloc," she said.

While she did not disclose the identities of the two additional MPs, Ghosh Dastidar said their names would be revealed once they formally joined the camp.
