West Bengal Minister Tapas Roy on Tuesday claimed that there are signs of Maharashtra-like disintegration in the Trinamool Congress. At the same time, the opposition party said that most of its MLAs are still with its supremo and former Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.

Talks about separation of a large faction of the party led by expelled MLA Ritabrata Banerjee from Trinamool Congress (TMC) have increased the stir in the politics of the state.

Speaking to reporters outside the Assembly, Roy claimed that Trinamool had included many people who had little to do with politics. He claimed that now the internal differences and contradictions of the party are visible on the surface.

Roy, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA from Maniktala, said that the process of division in the Trinamool Congress has started and eventually the party will disappear from the political scene of West Bengal.

Roy, who left TMC and joined BJP in the year 2024, claimed, ‘Dissatisfaction is increasing among many leaders and MLAs. These developments indicate that the party is moving towards disintegration, just like the situation that happened in Maharashtra.

BJP state president Samik Bhattacharya alleged that TMC was never a democratic party.

He said, ‘It is unfortunate that after such a long struggle, when we have come to power, there may not be any democratic opposition. We have nothing to do with whether TMC remains intact or breaks up. We have nothing to do with their internal crisis.

Senior Trinamool leader Shobhandeb Chattopadhyay said that most of the party MLAs will remain with Mamata Banerjee and the command of the organization will remain in the hands of senior leaders. TMC has named Chattopadhyay as the leader of the opposition.

He said, ‘Due to immense pressure from the ruling government, some people are being forced to give statements about forged signatures. Some leaders are trying to go against TMC because the ruling party is giving them money. We are constantly monitoring the situation.

He said, ‘Some MLAs may break down under pressure, but there is no possibility of any large-scale rebellion. Most of the MLAs will remain with Mamata Banerjee and the command of the organization will remain in the hands of senior leaders. The election symbol of the party will also remain with Mamata Banerjee.

While talking to journalists after coming out of the Assembly complex, Ritabrata Banerjee admitted that he met some MLAs in the MLA hostel and ate puffed rice with them.

Banerjee said that he believes in “moving forward one day at a time”. He refused to comment on speculations that more than 50 MLAs would join him.

He claimed that no formal resolution was passed to elect Shobhandeb Chattopadhyay as the leader of the opposition. According to Banerjee, the paper on which his signature was taken was merely to mark his attendance.

Banerjee claimed that the control of the party has now gone into the hands of ‘I-PAC’ and it is not being run by Mamata Banerjee.

TMC had won 80 seats in the 294-member assembly elections. However, two MLAs were expelled on Monday on charges of anti-party activities.
