A number of former Trinamool Congress (TMC) MPs, including Sushmita Dev, have joined the BJP, dealing a blow to Mamata Banerjee. The defections are part of a larger trend of TMC MPs leaving the party, with some outlets reporting a growing list of rebel leaders. The exact circumstances and implications of these developments are unclear, with some reports focusing on the individual defections and others discussing a broader unraveling of the TMC.
