Several outlets report that the Nationalist Citizens Party (NCPI) is a newly registered political party in West Bengal, with records indicating it was registered in January 2023. Reporting based on available registration details says the NCPI’s registered address is in Howrah district, Bengal. The same records name Shewly Kundu as the party’s treasurer. Sources also cite financial disclosures showing the party received donations totalling about Rs 1.13 lakh. The reports link the NCPI to political realignments involving a group of 20 rebel Trinamool Congress (TMC) MPs, describing the party as a new political home for those lawmakers.
Across the coverage, the core focus remains on factual background about the NCPI—its registration date, location, and named office-bearer—and on its association with the reported defection of a group of TMC MPs. The reporting does not add further detail beyond these registration and donation figures in the provided summaries.
