The Enforcement Directorate conducted raids at multiple residences of Trinamool Congress MLA Madan Mitra in Kolkata, including locations in Dakshineshwar and Bhawanipur. The searches are part of an investigation into an alleged municipality recruitment and cash-for-jobs scam. Simultaneously, the Trinamool Congress faces a major internal rebellion as 19 party Members of Parliament wrote to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, seeking recognition as a separate group and requesting separate seating allocations.
The rebel faction, which includes leaders like Saayoni Ghosh, Pratima Mandal, Mala Roy, and Mitali Bag, is scheduled to meet West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari and the Lok Sabha Speaker. The rebel MPs have demanded the appointment of Kakoli Ghosh as the party's chief whip. In response, Mamata Banerjee appointed Kalyan Banerjee as the chief whip, though the rebel group reached out to the Speaker first.
Meanwhile, Abhishek Banerjee has downplayed the internal party differences, stating his respect for veteran leaders and their right to express their views.
