West Bengal Chief Minister and TMC chief Mamata Banerjee is preparing to lead a major dharna in Kolkata, signalling a return to the style of street politics that helped shape her political career. The protest comes at a time when the ruling party claims that attempts are being made to weaken its organisational structure and target its workers. Mamata has called on party supporters to unite against what she describes as coordinated political attacks on the Trinamool Congress.

Signature Controversy Deepens Party Crisis
While the party continues to battle opposition attacks, an internal controversy has become an even bigger headache. The alleged signature forgery case linked to Assembly-related appointments has triggered a political storm.
Expulsion of MLAs Sends Strong Message
In a dramatic move, TMC expelled MLAs Ritabrata Banerjee and Sandipan Saha over alleged anti-party activities. The expulsions are being viewed as a clear warning to leaders accused of undermining party discipline. Recent developments have fueled speculation about growing dissatisfaction within sections of the party.
Mamata’s Tough Stand Against Rebels
Mamata Banerjee has responded firmly to the unrest, making it clear that the party will not tolerate indiscipline. She recently stated that TMC would be stronger without individuals working against the party’s interests, emphasising that its real strength comes from grassroots workers rather than individual leaders. The remarks are widely being interpreted as a direct message to dissenting voices within the organisation.
Tough Times Ahead for the Ruling Party?
As investigations continue and political tensions rise, the Trinamool Congress faces a critical test of unity and leadership. With Mamata Banerjee taking the battle to the streets once again, the coming weeks could determine whether TMC successfully contains the rebellion or finds itself grappling with deeper internal divisions.
