West Bengal CM to Meet Rebel MPs as NCPI Joins NDA Parliamentary Meeting
West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari planned to meet 20 former Trinamool Congress MPs who joined the Nationalist Citizens Party of India (NCPI), an NDA ally, amid ongoing disputes over their defection and disqualification petitions filed by TMC leader Abhishek Banerjee. The NCPI MPs attended their first NDA parliamentary party meeting, where Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union ministers discussed trade agreements and anti-paper leak legislation. The Speaker has yet to formally recognize NCPI as a parliamentary group, while seating arrangements have been adjusted to reflect the split.
