The rift within the Trinamool Congress has widened with MP Kakoli Ghosh leading the MPs' rebellion days after MLAs' revolt jolted Mamata's party.
As many as 13 Trinamool Congress MPs, led by Sukhendu Sekhar Ray and Kakoli Ghosh, met West Bengal chief minister Suvendu Adhikari at a BJP minister's residence on Monday.
The MPs also plan to write a letter to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, requesting that they be allotted seats as a separate faction.
TMC supremo Mamata Banerjee attended the INDIA bloc meeting in Delhi on Monday, where the opposition alliance took 5 key decisions.
The alliance group has decided to meet more often now, and the next meeting will be held in Hyderabad in August.
