West Bengal Rebel MPs Meet Suvendu Adhikari Amid NCPI-NDA Alignment Uncertainty
Twenty rebel MPs from West Bengal's Trinamool Congress joined the Nationalist Citizens Party of India (NCPI) but face pending recognition by the Lok Sabha Speaker. While most NCPI MPs attend NDA meetings, three Muslim MPs—Abu Taher Khan, Khalilur Rahman, and Yusuf Pathan—have skipped these gatherings, stating they do not align with the BJP or NDA. West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari met all 20 MPs in Delhi, discussing development and political alignment, amid speculation about further political realignments in the state.
