The Trinamool Congress has reconstituted its national working committee amid an escalating internal rebellion that is shaking the party at both the Assembly and Parliament levels. The move is being seen as Mamata Banerjee's biggest attempt yet to reassert control over the party as dissident leaders challenge her authority and attempt to project themselves as the "real" TMC. The rebel camp has even announced a parallel leadership structure and targeted senior party figures, including Abhishek Banerjee.

The political crisis within the Trinamool Congress has taken a dramatic turn after rebel MP Arup Chakraborty made a series of explosive claims regarding Mamata Banerjee, her leadership and the influence of family dynamics within the party. In remarks that have sparked intense political debate, Chakraborty alleged that Mamata Banerjee was not allowed to function independently and was subjected to significant pressure from within her own circle. He claimed that the TMC supremo wanted to work in a neutral and independent manner but was prevented from doing so. WATCH
