Loyalist Madan Mitra crosses over to rebel camp in fresh blow to Mamata Banerjee's TMC faction

Senior Trinamool Congress MLA Madan Mitra has resigned from the party. He joined a breakaway faction led by Ritabrata Banerjee. This move marks a significant setback for the Trinamool Congress. Mitra was recently appointed the party's Chief Whip in the assembly. His departure is expected to intensify political realignments in West Bengal.
