Suvendu Adhikari Meets NCPI MPs Amid Political Shifts in West Bengal
West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari met with 20 MPs who defected from the Trinamool Congress (TMC) to the Nationalist Citizens Party of India (NCPI) in Delhi on August 4, focusing on development issues in their constituencies. While the NCPI supports the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA), three Muslim MPs from Murshidabad have distanced themselves, skipping NDA meetings and stating they will not join the BJP or NDA. Speculation continues about potential shifts within TMC and NCPI ranks amid ongoing political realignments.
