TMC Faces Internal Crisis as Nineteen MPs Signal Departure

The timing of this maneuver coincides with a Parliamentary Standing Committee on Commerce visit to Raipur. Led by TMC member Dola Sen, the committee gathered to review national trade and export policies, though the presence of party representatives was overshadowed by the looming threat of resignations. The delegation included lawmakers from across the political spectrum, such as Congress member Renuka Chowdhury and BJP MP Santosh Pandey.

While the official agenda focused on regional development—ranging from Chhattisgarh’s organic farming potential to the operational hurdles at the Bhilai Steel Plant—the political atmosphere remained strained. The formal submission of names by the TMC contingent suggests that the party is struggling to maintain cohesion among its ranks in New Delhi, leaving observers to question the long-term viability of its current parliamentary strategy.
