Calcutta HC backs Ritabrata, for now: Rebel MLA at centre Of TMC split

Описание: The Calcutta High Court has refused to stay Speaker Rathindra Bose’s decision to recognise rebel Trinamool Congress MLA Ritabrata Banerjee as the Leader of Opposition in the West Bengal Assembly. The ruling allows Ritabrata to continue as LoP and attend the ongoing Budget Session, dealing a setback to Mamata Banerjee’s camp. But who is Ritabrata Banerjee? Once regarded as one of the CPI(M)’s brightest young leaders, he later joined the TMC, rose through its ranks, and is now leading a rebellion that threatens to reshape West Bengal politics. Samah Qundeel explains the legal battle over the LoP post, internal conflict within the TMC, and how Ritabrata emerged at the centre of the party’s biggest crisis in decades.
