West Bengal CM Suvendu Adhikari to Meet 20 Former TMC MPs in Delhi Amid Defection Dispute
West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari is scheduled to meet 20 former Trinamool Congress MPs who have joined the Nationalist Citizens Party of India, an ally of the BJP-led NDA, in Delhi. The meeting, likely at Banga Bhavan, will discuss coordination on MPLADS funds, development projects, and parliamentary issues amid ongoing legal disputes over the MPs' defections. The Lok Sabha Speaker has not yet recognized the party changes, while the TMC seeks their disqualification under anti-defection laws.
