The All India Trinamool Congress (AITC), West Bengal’s ruling party, is experiencing significant setbacks in the Indian Parliament. Originally holding 28 seats in the Lok Sabha, the party has now lost 20 due to internal conflicts and defections of its Members of Parliament. This represents a substantial erosion of the AITC’s national representation. The defections are also reportedly impacting the West Bengal state legislative assembly, with growing numbers of dissenting voices emerging within the party. The reasons cited for the departures center around internal party disputes and dissatisfaction among members. This loss of parliamentary seats weakens the AITC’s political influence at the national level and raises questions about its stability. The ongoing situation suggests increasing internal turmoil within the party.
