Rebel TMC MPs consider merging with NDA ally and seek separate seating in parliament

The Economic Times notes that a group of rebel TMC MPs is exploring new options. They are considering a merger with an ally of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA). The MPs also desire a distinct seating arrangement in parliament. The move reflects dissatisfaction with the main TMC leadership. Aligning with an NDA ally could alter the balance of power. Separate seating would signal an independent bloc within the legislature. Party insiders view the initiative as a potential realignment. The outcome may affect future coalition negotiations.
