A resurfaced video of Saayoni Ghosh mocking political defections has gone viral
June 15, 2026: TMC MP Saayoni Ghosh has come under intense social media scrutiny after an old video of her criticizing political defections resurfaced amid the growing rebellion within the Trinamool Congress. The controversy comes at a time when several dissident TMC MPs are reportedly preparing to align with the Tripura-based Nationalist Citizens Party (NCP), triggering fresh speculation about internal divisions within the party.
In the viral clip, Ghosh is seen mocking former AAP leader Raghav Chadha over his departure from his party. The video has now been widely circulated by critics who claim that her reported association with the rebel camp contradicts the views she expressed in the past. The resurfacing of the footage has fueled debate across political circles and social media platforms.
The controversy followed Ghosh to Delhi, where journalists questioned her at the airport before a meeting of rebel MPs. Asked whether her alleged support for the dissident faction conflicted with her earlier remarks on political loyalty, Ghosh declined to respond. She stated that she was accountable only to the people of her Jadavpur constituency and would answer them directly. After the brief interaction, she left without taking further questions.
