A fierce battle has erupted within the Trinamool Congress, with control of the party's massive financial resources becoming a key flashpoint in the ongoing leadership dispute. What began as a political rebellion has now evolved into a high-stakes fight over access to one of India's largest regional party funds.
Trinamool Congress MP Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar on Sunday claimed that two more MPs had joined the dissident camp, taking its strength in the Lok Sabha to 22 members.
