The Trinamool Congress (TMC) has dissolved all its organisational committees in West Bengal and announced a comprehensive review of the party structure amid a major internal crisis.
The party said all committees in West Bengal, along with those of its frontal organisations, stood dissolved with immediate effect.
The decision comes amid escalating turmoil within the organisation, including the ongoing fake-signature controversy and an open rebellion by a large section of its legislators.
59 rebel TMC legislators arrived at the West Bengal Assembly in Kolkata to stake claim as the principal opposition group, pushing the Mamata Banerjee-led faction into an unprecedented political challenge.
The dissident camp includes former ministers Javed Ahmed Khan, Arup Roy, Chandranath Sinha and Sabina Yasmin. Several among the 59 legislators are facing investigations by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the Enforcement Directorate (ED).
