Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla is set to meet Trinamool Congress leader Abhishek Banerjee on June 19 as part of the ongoing proceedings related to the split within the party. The hearing comes after 20 rebel TMC MPs sought recognition as a separate parliamentary group following their merger with the Nationalist Citizens Party of India (NCPI).
Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Kirti Azad has alleged that BJP leader Nishikant Dubey is playing a role in the ongoing political turmoil within the party. According to Azad, the rebellion by several TMC leaders is being coordinated from Dubey’s residence.
