Rebel TMC leader Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar announces to form separate faction, claims support of 20 MPs

A fresh political storm appears to be brewing within the Trinamool Congress (TMC) after rebel MP Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar announced her decision to form a separate faction within the party and claimed that she has the backing of 20 Members of Parliament (MPs). The dramatic remarks have intensified speculation about internal divisions within the ruling party in West Bengal and could have significant political implications if the claims materialise into a formal split.
