2026 Rebellion
In June 2026,almost immediately after the massive Trinamool Congress defeat,around 20 MPs of TMC allegedly declared rebellion from their Party,and presented their written wish to join Bhartiya Janata Party. This group was led by Kakoli Ghosh. [5] [6]
Later,on 14 June 20 MPs,including Khan,signed a formal letter declaring their split from Trinamool Congress as to merge with the Nationalist Citizen Party of India (NCPI). They formally submitted the letter to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla. [7] [8]
The total strength of TMC in Lok Sabha had been 28,so that a number of 20 MPS made it eligible for splitting from the Party,as per the Indian Defection laws,so as to escape the anti-defection disqualification. [9]
