The Trinamool Congress (TMC) expels two of its MLAs—Sandipan Saha and Ritabrata Banerjee—from primary party membership following allegations of “anti-party activities.” According to reports, the party cites conduct and statements described as against the interests of the All India Trinamool Congress (AITC) and actions seen as harmful to the organisation. Both outlets state that the MLAs are expelled for reasons linked to non-participation in party activities and for making remarks perceived to undermine the party. The charges mentioned include alleged failure to attend party meetings and public statements that do not align with the party’s interests. News outlets report that the decision is framed as removal from primary membership, rather than a resignation from office or a separate disciplinary proceeding in the legislature. The reports also indicate that the party has concluded that their conduct warrants expulsion, though they do not provide details of any formal appeal process or the MLAs’ response.
