Three TMC MPs Skip NDA Meeting Amid Alliance Speculation
Three Trinamool Congress (TMC) MPs from Murshidabad skipped a National Democratic Alliance (NDA) meeting. The MPs, identified as Muslim representatives, reportedly cited 'ideological discomfort' for their absence. This follows speculation about a potential rift within the breakaway TMC faction. One report claims these MPs are in contact with Mamata Banerjee, with a TMC leader asserting that 6 rebel MPs and 50% of MLAs want to return to the party. Another report suggests these three MPs are maintaining distance from the NDA meeting while being close to Suvendu Adhikari.
