Internal Disintegration and Corruption within the Trinamool Congress

The air around the Trinamool Congress right now feels heavy, doesn’t it? Not just the usual political noise.

Roy openly suggested the party is heading toward disintegration . Disintegration.

Because there’s been a systematic silencing. He pointed out that the ability for internal debate, for dissent—it’s gone.

The decision-making process? It’s completely centralized. Roy observed that it’s only one person speaking. That’s where the democratic machinery, the supposed checks and balances, just evaporated. It’s just one voice dictating everything. It’s a portrait of an organization that has lost its pulse, replaced by a single, rigid direction.

He even went as far as describing the situation as “anarchy.” Yes, he tweeted that. “I tweeted anarchy because it was anarchy.”

This isn't just abstract party talk. It’s rooted in concrete allegations about how power is actually being exercised.

Then there’s the money side of things. Roy brought up corruption , too. Not just general political maneuvering, but something that seems deeply embedded, especially looking back at the period after 2016. He suggested that after that time, certain leaders started grabbing money, operating in their own ways. It became institutionalized. Every way.

This hits hard because the TMC has been under relentless scrutiny, especially regarding corruption controversies in West Bengal. The opposition parties have been hammering this point constantly.

And then there’s the external players. The involvement of political consultancy firms. Roy zeroed in on IPAC . He suggested that this organization wasn't just offering marketing help. He claimed they were running things. They were dictating the strategic and organizational decisions happening inside the party. A marketing agency might help with outreach, sure. But running the internal machinery? That’s a different level entirely. It implies a deGree of control that goes far beyond simple advisory work.

The allegations against IPAC weren’t just about strategy. There were financial claims tied to this. He mentioned specific figures, saying they took money—twenty lakh, and all. No documents, no proof, just assertion.

This brings us to the legal side, the friction with the system. Roy also touched on the protest surrounding the RG Kar issue. He claimed he was protesting against alleged attempts to tamper with evidence. It’s a very specific, tangible grievance. But instead of addressing that, instead of having his concerns heard, what happened? Authorities responded. A police summons.

Imagine that. A senior voice, protesting something, and the response is a summons. “Imagine, a police summons,” he remarked.

And then there’s the response to the current political climate. Even while tearing down the internal structure of the TMC, Roy’s view on the new government, the BJP administration in the state, is notably reserved. He said something like, “This government has started well. I will wait and watch.”

It’s imperfect.
