Rebel Trinamool MP Basunia claims 17 of 20 NCPI MPs to join BJP; fellow rebels, ruling party deny
AI EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A rebel Trinamool Congress MP asserted that a significant majority of North Bengal Development and Coordination Committee MPs plan to switch to the BJP. Meanwhile, both the BJP's state leadership and the MP's fellow party members have dismissed the assertion, denying any impending defections.
WHY IT MATTERS
This claim highlights internal friction within the Trinamool Congress and tests the BJP's official stance on handling potential political defections in West Bengal.
The BJP sought to distance itself from the claim, with its West Bengal unit chief Samik Bhattacharya saying the party would not take in anyone merely because they want to join it
