The Trinamool Congress (TMC) is facing an internal crisis as a growing number of MLAs and councillors resign from the party. Insiders within the party revealed that Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee had anticipated such a situation but ultimately failed to avert the defections.

These departures signal a significant challenge to the TMC's leadership and internal cohesion. The reasons behind the resignations are varied, but they collectively point to underlying discontent within the party ranks. The ongoing exodus raises questions about the party's stability and its ability to manage internal dissent.

While Banerjee reportedly foresaw the potential for such a crisis, the inability to prevent members from leaving highlights the complexities of managing a large political party. The situation puts the TMC on alert as it navigates these internal challenges, with the focus now shifting to how the party will address the defections and shore up its support base.
