Mamata Banerjee Seeks Expedited Election Commission Review of TMC Faction Dispute
Trinamool Congress leader Mamata Banerjee has written to the Election Commission urging a swift resolution of the inquiry into the rebel faction led by Ritabrata Banerjee. She submitted a party MLA's communication alleging procedural irregularities in a June 22 'special session' held by the rival faction, which purportedly reconstituted the party illegally. Mamata's letter requests the Commission to consider these claims alongside other evidence while examining the factional dispute within the AITC.
