Rebel TMC Faction Claims Party Office, Names Senior MLA as Chairman

A rebel faction within the All India Trinamool Congress has asserted control over a party office, triggering an internal power struggle within the ruling Bengal party. The dissidents installed a poster at the front gate naming senior MLA Arup Roy as the chairman of the AITC. Despite the takeover, photographs and cutouts of party supremo Mamata Banerjee were left undisturbed inside the building. The move signals a deepening rift within Trinamool Congress ranks, pitching loyalists against rebel members.
