But the Election Commission just froze it all ahead of Bengal’s crucial bypolls. No ‘Flowers and Grass’ for either faction. Not even the party name. Instead, they’ve got till Friday to pick something else; a new identity, on the fly, before votes are cast. It’s messy. It’s political. And it could shape the future of Bengal politics. For Mamata Banerjee’s side, it’s a blow. For Ritabrata Banerjee’s group, it’s a chance. But for voters? Confusion. Especially when the Congress is already calling it a ‘bullet to democracy’. The real test begins October 6; not just for who wins seats, but for who gets to call themselves TMC. Because right now? Neither of them can.
