The internal conflict within the Trinamool Congress has intensified after rebel MP Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar demanded the expulsion of senior MP Kalyan Banerjee from the Lok Sabha. In a formal complaint addressed to Speaker Om Birla, Dastidar accused Banerjee of repeated misconduct and misogynistic behavior.
Banerjee Rejects Allegations
Kalyan Banerjee has strongly denied the accusations, labeling them as politically motivated. He questioned why no complaint was lodged earlier, suggesting the timing is suspicious. The allegations come just days after Dastidar and 19 other MPs merged with the NCPI, further deepening the rift in the party.
Political Implications
The escalation highlights the growing factionalism within the Trinamool Congress, with dissident MPs now openly challenging senior leaders. The party leadership has yet to comment on the matter, but the development could have significant repercussions for the party's unity ahead of upcoming elections.
