Trinamool Congress (TMC) postpones a legislative party meeting chaired by Mamata Banerjee after a large number of its MLAs do not attend. News18 and Times of India report that nearly three-fourths of the party’s MLAs skip the meeting. The outlets link the absence to a dispute over alleged attacks on TMC leaders, citing complaints from the party about violence involving Abhishek Banerjee and Kalyan Banerjee. In response to the situation, TMC announces statewide rallies and a sit-in in Kolkata, saying the protest is against what it describes as post-poll violence and evictions. The party attributes the alleged “terror” against its workers to the BJP. BJP, according to Times of India, denies involvement and says the unrest reflects local anger rather than any organized role by the BJP. The developments occur amid heightened tensions within the post-election political environment in West Bengal, with TMC framing the meeting disruption and subsequent protests around concerns about attacks and intimidation.
