Political Speculation and Internal Turmoil within the TMC

Fresh visuals surfaced of Sushmita Dev meeting Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma. That kind of thing just kicks the speculation into high gear about her next move. It’s all about her potential entry into the BJP , right?

This happened right after she stepped down from Rajya Sabha and walked out of the Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress on Wednesday. A meeting like that it’s being read as a big signpost for where she’s going next politically.

Some sources are whispering about what might happen eventually. It seems there's talk she could return to the Rajya Sabha, and this time, with BJP backing. But nothing official has been announced yet. Still, the air is thick with possibility.

The whole situation feels like a major stumble for the TMC . They’re wrestling with internal issues right now, grappling with some real turbulence behind the scenes.

There was something about her departure that got noticed. A copy of Dev's resignation actually got seen by CNN-News18.

And there’s this bit from before she left. Reports say she had spoken to Mamata Banerjee just before resigning and apologized.

Details on that conversation are still hazy, naturally. But the reported outreach suggested she was trying to get her decision out before making it public. A kind of careful exit.

The reaction inside the TMC has been telling too. Senior leader Saugata Roy called Dev’s departure a complete surprise for the party. That kind of shock rippled through some parts of the organization.

The political scene around the TMC is just churning, honestly. It's full of movement.

Meanwhile, there are other cracks showing in the party structure. We saw a breakaway faction emerge earlier this month. Ritabrata Banerjee, an expelled MLA, managed to get recognition in the West Bengal Assembly by pulling support from a majority of TMC legislators.

That group is positioning itself as the "constructive opposition." They’re trying to maintain some stance against the BJP locally while still maneuvering politically. It's complicated stuff.

And at the national level? There’s another layer of trouble surfacing for the party. A contingent of TMC Lok Sabha MPs reportedly communicated their preference to align with the NDA , which means the BJP camp. That creates a real split. You see this stark contrast between what they are doing in state politics and what's happening in Parliament.

Political observers are just pointing at all this stuff. They’re describing it as evidence of an organizational mess. An ideological crisis is unfolding within Mamata Banerjee's party right now. It’s messy.
