Mamata loyalist MLA Madan Mitra joins TMC rebel camp, says no link to ED summons
Madan Mitra, a long-time loyalist of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, joined a rebel faction of the Trinamool Congress (TMC) while denying any connection to recent Enforcement Directorate (ED) summons issued to his family. Mitra resigned from several key positions within the TMC, asserting that his departure is not linked to the ED investigation into alleged corruption involving his family. The rebel group, led by Ritabrata Banerjee, aims to challenge family-dominated politics within the party, claiming Mitra's support bolsters their cause.
