60 TMC MLAs Claim Sparks Huge Speculation In Bengal

Political attention has shifted to West Bengal after reports that a group led by expelled TMC leader Ritabrata Banerjee reached the Assembly together. With the TMC holding 80 seats, a valid split under the anti-defection law would require support from at least 54 MLAs. If 60 MLAs back a separate faction, they stake claim over the party and its symbol.
