Mamata Banerjee faces internal rebellion as TMC struggles with party unity

Nearly three decades after Mamata Banerjee broke away from Congress to establish the Trinamool Congress, she now confronts a significant challenge from within her own party. The TMC is grappling with internal rebellion, disputes over its name and symbol, and intensifying competition from the BJP in West Bengal.

The situation marks a striking reversal of fortunes for Banerjee, who once built TMC as a breakaway force against the Congress. Her party now faces questions about cohesion and leadership as factional tensions emerge alongside electoral pressures in the state.
