TMC might find an unlikely saviour in Bengal. The BJP. Here's why

Key points

• West Bengal CM Suvendu Adhikari had a prediction to make on May 4, the day the results of the state's Assembly polls were announced;
• the Trinamool Congress (TMC) could disintegrate following its electoral debacle.
• A month later, while the TMC hasn't disintegrated, it is facing its biggest internal crisis since its founding.
• Yet many in the BJP wouldn't want the TMC to collapse.
• The reason: if the TMC were to collapse, the BJP might end up facing a more stronger foe in West Bengal, the CPI(M)-led Left Front.
