Rebel TMC legislators approach ECI, claim party ownership with two-thirds support
In the ongoing battle over the 'authentic TMC' label, a group of dissident TMC MLAs, headed by Ritabrata Banerjee, visited the Election Commission to assert their right to the party's name and official symbol, insisting their faction is the true TMC. Banerjee stated, 'We are the TMC because we hold a majority of more than two-thirds.' He added that they presented their arguments and are anticipating a prompt response from the ECI.
