Meanwhile, Ritabrata Banerjee's group becomes the 'Democratic Trinamool Congress' with an envelope as their symbol. The ECI’s move comes after 57 TMC MLAs rebelled, expelling 2 members and backing Ritabrata as LoP; even though he was expelled earlier. This split follows the TMC’s loss of power in West Bengal after 15 years, with the BJP sweeping 207 seats. As the party fractures, 20 rebel MPs merged with a small party to back the NDA, and 4 Rajya Sabha members also switched sides. The real battle now isn’t just for seats; it’s for the soul of Bengal’s most powerful political brand.
