‘Real’ TMC row: Mamata Banerjee cries foul over EC’s ‘stoic silence’, opposes more time for rebel camp

Mamata Banerjee asked the Election Commission to stop granting more time to the Ritabrata Banerjee faction. She alleged the poll body’s silence gave the rebel group additional leeway. The rival faction claimed to be the real Trinamool Congress party. Mamata’s camp argued its organizational committees remain valid until 2027. The Election Commission had previously set deadlines for both groups.
