Twenty Trinamool Congress Lok Sabha MPs have written to the Speaker seeking a separate group and announcing support for the NDA. Mahua Moitra criticised Yusuf Pathan.
On Monday, 20 TMC MPs led by Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar submitted a letter to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla. They announced they would work with the NDA. Mahua Moitra accused Behrampur MP Yusuf Pathan of rushing to Delhi after a call from Amit Shah. She wrote, 'Have some shame and some spine.' The development comes amid growing discontent in the party following its defeat in the West Bengal Assembly elections. The rebel MPs said they have no immediate plan to formally leave TMC to avoid disqualification under the anti-defection law.
