A question mark was raised on the political future of TMC in Kolkata when there was a split in the party after the defeat in the assembly elections. A section of the party rebelled and formally gave itself the status of the real TMC. This controversy also became public. At the same time, the Election Commission also asked both the parties as to who is the real TMC.
Now the news is that the rebel MLA group has captured the party office. 60 MLAs, including leader of the rebel group and leader of opposition in West Bengal Ritabrata Banerjee, reached the headquarters of Trinamool Congress and held a meeting there for five minutes. Then he came out and locked the gate.
The rebel group has claimed that we are the real TMC. We have rights on the office. After this, Mamata Banerjee supporters reached the party office under the leadership of TMC leader Kunal Ghosh. Where there is news of continuous uproar.

Former leadership cut off from public and grassroots workers: Sandipan Saha
A day before this, TMC MLA Sandipan Saha had told news agency IANS that the former leadership was cut off from the public and grassroots workers, which created problems. The democratic process was not being followed within the party. We want the party to run democratically in accordance with its ideology, where every member gets an opportunity to express his views. Decisions should be taken collectively after listening to and discussing everyone’s opinion. This is our wish and objective.

The workers left. The members of his Panchayat Committee of the Panchayat Block also left, the Mayor left. Only his nephew is with him. The majority of Trinamool Congress is against him. Mamta Banerjee is now in minority. Now it is for the Election Commission to decide which party it is and who its leader is.
