The results of West Bengal Assembly elections came on 4 May. The election results were not favorable for Mamata Banerjee. After being in power for 15 years, his party lost the elections. However, the party was successful in winning 80 MLAs. After this, Mamata Banerjee announced her new entry into politics. But in the last 65 days, 5 such incidents have happened, which have changed the political world of Mamata Banerjee.
One who calls for a new rise in politics Mamata Banerjee Now the challenge is to save the party, money (funds) and position. At present all three of them are in trouble.
Mamata Banerjee's party had won 29 seats in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, but after the defeat in the assembly elections, 19 of Mamata's MPs have left the party. Under the leadership of Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar, on May 18, 19 Trinamool Congress MPs wrote a letter to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla.
This letter was revealed when it was officially announced in June. Along with Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar, there are leaders like Trinamool MP Sudip Bandhopadhyay, Sayoni Ghosh, Yusuf Pathan. At present Mamata Banerjee has 8 Lok Sabha MPs. These include the names of Abhishek Banerjee, Mahua Moitra and Kirti Jha Azad.
There was a split among Trinamool MLAs on June 3 under the leadership of rebel MLA Ritabrata Banerjee. About 70 MLAs formed a separate group. It also got recognition in the Assembly, after which Shobhandev Bhattacharya, close to Mamata Banerjee, lost the post of Leader of Opposition.
Ritabrata Banerjee said that Abhishek Banerjee has become a dictator in the party. Ritabrata demanded removal of Abhishek.
On June 22, Ritabrata Banerjee faction staked claim on Trinamool Congress. The Ritabrata faction said that the real successors of TMC are the 70 MLAs. The Ritabrata faction has cited the NCP and Shiv Sena case for this. This group has declared Arup Roy as the president of the party.
Mamta Banerjee has been removed from the post of party president. This matter is under consideration with the Election Commission. However, looking at the old case, it is being said that Mamata may face a setback in the party matters.
In view of the uproar within Trinamool, first the police and then the ED have frozen the party's funds. The party had a fund of Rs 440 crore deposited. Mamta Banerjee has called it a conspiracy. However, it is not easy for Mamata Banerjee to get this fund back. Because, first the party will be decided and then the fund.
Mamta Banerjee's security has also been reduced. For example, earlier there was strong police barricading outside Mamata's residence. It was not easy to get around them. Now it has been changed. No information was given by the state government regarding why this change was made. Two days ago, Mamta alleged that I have been put under house arrest inside the house. CRPF has been deployed outside my house.
Mamata Banerjee still has 9 Rajya Sabha MPs, 8 Lok Sabha MPs and 10 MLAs left. Apart from this, there is no major breakdown in the organization. The people of the organization are still with Mamata Banerjee. Leaving aside North Bengal and Medinipur, Mamata Banerjee still has a strong support base.
