West Bengal CM to Meet Rebel MPs Amid TMC Disqualification Push and NDA Integration
West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari is set to meet 20 former Trinamool Congress MPs who joined the Nationalist Citizens Party of India (NCPI), an ally of the BJP-led NDA. The meeting, likely at Banga Bhavan in Delhi, aims to discuss coordination on development projects, MPLADS fund utilization, and parliamentary strategies. Meanwhile, TMC leader Abhishek Banerjee has urged Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla to expedite disqualification petitions against these MPs under the anti-defection law. The NCPI MPs will also attend the NDA's 'Mangal Milan' parliamentary meeting, marking their formal integration into the alliance.
