Suvendu Adhikari to meet NCPI MPs in Delhi on August 4 as TMC stares at more exits
Speculations are rife that leaders from the ‘Kalighat camp’, which comprises of the loyalists of Trinamool founder Mamata Banerjee, are likely to switch sides and join the NCPI
Bengal's Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari is set to meet 20 Nationalist Citizens Party of India MPs on August 4 in Delhi. This would be their first encounter since the defection from Trinamool Congress. Sudip Bandyopadhyay and Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar, senior NCPI MPs, have confirmed the meeting, stating that the primary agenda is development in their respective constituencies, particularly focusing on aiding party workers who remain homeless post the change of government.
Adhikari was to meet the MPs last week, but the meeting was postponed due to time constraints. Meanwhile, there are speculations that 'Kalighat camp' leaders – loyalists of Trinamool's founder Mamata Banerjee, might join NCPI. TMC currently has eight MPs in the Lok Sabha after the defections, after winning 29 seats in the 2024 general election. Trinamool's recent meeting with the NDA was also reported.
