TMC Hits Back

Reacting to the claims, senior TMC leader Kalyan Banerjee questioned why the rebel MPs were not openly joining the BJP if they genuinely commanded the support they claimed. He argued that the BJP itself may be unwilling to accept them.

Banerjee also cited former Rajya Sabha MP Sukhendu Sekhar Roy as an example of political propriety, saying he resigned after criticising the party and that the rebels should do the same if they no longer supported the TMC.

The TMC leader further questioned the authenticity of the alleged letter, asking why such an important document had not been made public. He accused the dissident MPs of working in coordination with the BJP and pointed to their reported meeting with Union Minister Bhupender Yadav in the presence of West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari.

Kirti Azad also criticised the rebel MPs, saying they should openly admit if they intended to join the BJP. Both leaders maintained that the TMC would remain united under Mamata Banerjee’s leadership and that the party would not be weakened by the departure of dissident leaders.
