Congress attacks Amit Shah over merger of TMC MPs with NCP

Congress has attacked BJP leader Amit Shah, alleging he masterminded the merger of 20 Trinamool Congress MPs with the NCP(I). The party claims the defection is part of a larger political strategy. If the merger is formally approved, TMC's Lok Sabha strength would decline significantly from approximately 28 MPs to 8. The development comes amid ongoing political realignments in Indian politics.
