Former West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee's political woes may be far from over as her party, Trinamool Congress, may be looking at a repeat of a rebellion in the Parliament, similar to the one in the West Bengal legislative assembly.
A section of the members of Parliament of Banerjee's TMC, in both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, may be preparing for a similar move, reported news agency PTI.
TMC's veteran Rajya Sabha MP Sukhendu Sekhar Roy warned that the party's parliamentary ranks may be looking at a similar move too.
However, another MP of the party painted a different picture and said that what happened in the West Bengal state assembly was just a temporary setback for Banerjee and that the party was not on the verge of collapse.
Mamata Banerjee founded TMC after separating from the Congress in 1998 and has been a major force in West Bengal with Banerjee at its centre.
Even those considered her loyalists, such as Barasat MP Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar, have come out in the open to express their dissent against the party leadership.
Despite the rebellion, the rebel TMC MLAs still see Mamata Banerjee as a towering figure and wish to work under her leadership.
Mamata has spoken to several MLAs and MPs of her party to reopen communication with the dissidents, PTI reported citing senior TMC leaders.
