Expelled MLAs vs TMC over signature row: Mamata Banerjee's battered party fights on two fronts

Trinamool Congress expelled MLAs Sandipan Saha and Ritabrata Banerjee for anti-party activities, hours after they filed complaints in the state assembly's 'fake signature' case involving the party-endorsed Leader of Opposition. The move — issued within minutes of a CM press conference — illustrates how Indian regional parties use immediate membership revocation as a blunt instrument to suppress internal dissent before it escalates publicly.
