Kolkata: After a rebellion by some MLAs, Trinamool Congress (TMC) Rajya Sabha MP Sukhendu Sekhar Roy has hinted at growing unrest among the party's parliamentarians. Speaking to reporters, Roy acknowledged that there is dissatisfaction within the party ranks, though he did not specify the exact nature of the grievances.
Party Strength in Parliament
The TMC currently has 28 members in the Lok Sabha and 13 in the Rajya Sabha. The recent revolt by MLAs has raised questions about the party's internal cohesion, with Roy's comments adding to the speculation. He stated that the party leadership is aware of the concerns and is working to address them.
Background of the Revolt
Earlier this week, several TMC MLAs expressed dissent over organizational decisions, prompting Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee to intervene. The unrest among MPs could further challenge the party's stability ahead of the upcoming session of Parliament.
Roy's remarks come at a time when the TMC is trying to consolidate its position in both houses. The party has been vocal on national issues, but internal discord may weaken its effectiveness. Political analysts believe that the leadership needs to take immediate steps to prevent further damage.
When asked about possible disciplinary action against the rebellious MLAs, Roy declined to comment, saying the party would handle the matter internally. He urged party workers to remain united and focus on the welfare of the people of West Bengal.
