Following the split in the TMC, Congress accused Amit Shah.

After the split in the Trinamool Congress, the Congress has alleged that this is part of Home Minister Amit Shah's strategy. Senior Congress leader Jairam Ramesh said that such action poses a threat to the constitutional norms of the country.

The Congress alleges that TMC MPs are being brought over to their side in a corporate-style manner. It says this is an attempt to weaken the political process, which is affecting democratic values.
