The following names are possible:
Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar (Barasat)
Prasun Banerjee (Howrah)
Satabdi Roy (Birbhum)
Asit Mal (Bolpur)
Bapi Haldar (Mathurapur)
June Malia (Medinipur)
Jagadish Basunia (Cooch Behar)
Kalipada Soren (Jhargram)
Arup Chakraborty (Bankura)
Partha Bhowmick (Barrackpore)
Sharmila Sarkar (Bardhaman Purba)
Rachna Banerjee (Hooghly),
Yusuf Pathan (Baharampur) (not confirmed)
Dev Adhikari (Ghatal)
Shatrughan Sinha (Asansol) (not confirmed)
The above-mentioned names are widely expected to form an independent bloc of Trinamool Congress MPs and extend support to the BJP-led NDA.
One of the most significant observations about this emerging list is the religious factor. At present, there is no Muslim MP in the group, unless Yusuf Pathan ultimately joins. This is particularly important because it addresses a key weakness that has emerged within the rebel faction of TMC MLAs in West Bengal.
Unlike the MLA rebellion, Muslim MPs are unlikely to align themselves with the BJP-led NDA, as doing so could seriously jeopardize their political future and electoral prospects. As a result, the split among MPs appears far more strategic and structurally cohesive than the split among MLAs. We have already seen several rebel MLAs continue to publicly acknowledge Mamata Banerjee as their leader, a contradiction that is unlikely to be repeated in the case of MPs who choose to break away.
It is also worth noting that some of the constituencies represented by the prospective rebels have substantial Muslim populations. Birbhum, represented by Satabdi Roy, Bolpur represented by Asit Mal, and Mathurapur, represented by Bapi Haldar, have significantly higher concentrations of Muslim voters than constituencies such as Jhargram or Bankura, where the Muslim population is comparatively low.
However, the calculation appears to be that a consolidation of Hindu votes behind the BJP could compensate for the loss of Muslim support, potentially making these leaders electorally viable if they contest on BJP tickets in 2029.
Similarly, constituencies such as Barasat and Barrackpore have notable Muslim demographics due to their proximity to the Kolkata metropolitan region. Yet, with the BJP’s growing electoral strength in these areas, Muslim voters alone may no longer be decisive in determining electoral outcomes. The emerging strategy seems to rest on the assumption that a consolidated Hindu vote can offset the erosion of minority support in these constituencies.
IMPORTANT: Law on splits and defections is clear: Only a merger is possible and for that 2/3rds of the political party has to merge as well. There is no recognition for factions or groups. Subhash Desai vs. Principal Secretary, Governor of Maharashtra (2023) in Shiv Sena case settled this. It was a landmark 5-judge constitution bench verdict. The judgement clearly states that the rights to appoint the Leader of the Legislative Party & the Whip lay solely with the leader of the political party.
Qs: Will TMC breakaway group now merge with BJP and take it closer to 272 mark? Note: NDA is not a political party.
Q: Will LS speaker @ombirlakota and @ECISVEEP follow the case law or not?
Below is operative part of SC judgment (a little reading might help those who write/speak on the issue)
According to @kakoligdastidar People rejected the Bad TMC means the Duplicate TMC , she now belongs to Good TMC means the Original TMC which is also the part NDA
Original or Good TMC is now the National / Indian . They are not part of Bangladeshis now .
However , what about the Muslims MPs who are part of the rebel MPs ? What are their chances ?? They are still Bangladeshis or Indian??

@RohitDu48986022 কেননা, মমতা বন্দ্যোপাধ্যায় স্বৈরাচারী ছিলেন না! তিনি এমন পরিবেশ তৈরি করেননি যেখানে অপোজিশন নেতাদের হয় মাই ওয়ে নয় হাই ওয়ে মোডে রাজনীতি করতে হয়! এখন পরিস্থিতি এমন শাসক দলের হয়েই রাজনীতি করতে হবে, নাহলে কুৎসা ন্যারেটিভ ছড়িয়ে এরেস্ট করানো হচ্ছে! দুটো এক বিষয় নয়।
MUST WATCH 🚨
This man Exposed Aam Aadmi party and Regional party is another Level 🔥🔥🔥
Rahul Gandhi is Only Leader who lead the country ❤️🔥Young man says
Reminder: This man has not spoken a single word about the NEET scam and CBSE.
P.S.: He is the same man who used to raise the prices of samosas and kachoris as issues in Parliament.
BJP broke :
– Congress
– Shivsena
– NCP
– AAP
– TMC
Modi & Shah are doing it despite having government in 20 states and Central government.
BJP is the most undemocratic party in the history of India.
Had revered Khudiram Bose alive and witnessed this ₹15 lakh crore scam today, he might have lamented, “In my next life, may fate spare me from being born in Medinipur where from biggest supporters of these scammers arise today”.
Those TMC leaders who do not want to join BJP are being deliberately branded as thieves and extortionists by media and then arrested.
And those who, out of fear, are joining the BJP are being prominently interviewed by the media and forced to speak against Didi.
Keep it up.
The personal became the political for me in 2024. I joined public life because I passionately believe that the @narendramodi -led @BJP4India is destroying India’s precious democratic spaces and I believed and believe in the Opposition’s constitutional fight against the anti-constitutional, communal minded Modi-led BJP bent on fomenting religious wars. I believed, believe and will ALWAYS believe in the remarkable leadership of @MamataOfficial , an inspiration for all women, indeed all citizens in her unflagging courage and value-based politics. What strikes me as bizarre is this culture of winning on one party’s symbol and under the name of one particular leader and then abandoning that party and the leader the moment it faces defeat. If your convictions change with the election result, were they convictions at all? You contest under a party symbol. You ask voters to trust a party platform. You win because of that party’s support and leaders appeal. Then the party loses and you immediately switch sides.
If loyalty lasts only as long as victory, what exactly was the mandate for? Or is it when Shri @AmitShah and his cronies make a phone call, you obediently line up and all morality ends? SHAME.
Broke Shivsena and took in all politicians. .
Broke NCP and took all their politicians who once BJP called corrupts..
Broke AAP and took all their Rajyasabha MPs.
Now Broke TMC and BJP will take 20 tmc MPs.
Looks like BJP can't survive on it's own and wants to take all the corrupt MPs of oposition parties.
What a fall for BJPigs
Rather than asking the BJP or the traitors of TMC, the list of names with signatures of the members of Parliament why are they asking the questions to us.
Everybody knows the dirty tricks of the BJP. Make a fake narrative and feed it to the hungry media
