West Bengal politics has seen another dramatic turn as the rebel faction led by Uluberia Purba MLA Ritabrata Banerjee, calling itself the “real Trinamool”, announced a new committee that removed Mamata Banerjee as party chairperson and suspended second-in-command Abhishek Banerjee.
The move came days after the Trinamool Congress faction aligned with Mamata Banerjee expelled Ritabrata Banerjee for alleged anti-party activities.
