Kolkata’s distance from Delhi is barely 1,435 km, and the number of disillusioned TMC parliamentarians is very likely to go up. That development can happen with each passing hour from now,” PTI quoted Ritabrata saying.”I sat in the last bench in the Parliament for 15 months and witnessed junior leaders and RTI activists being awarded front seats. Parliamentary performance was never the yardstick of judgement. I felt terrible for Sukhenduda, who also allotted the last bench,” he added.The contrasting scenes in Delhi highlighted the party’s internal turmoil: while Mamata Banerjee and the TMC leadership attended the INDIA bloc meeting, a group of dissident MPs reportedly convened at Bhupender Yadav’s residence.About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.
