TMC mass exodus: Is this chaos or a carefully crafted strategy of rebel leaders?

The political crisis in West Bengal intensified as twenty rebel parliamentarians split from the Trinamool Congress party to merge with Nationalist Citizens Party of India (NCPI) – a little-known outfit – aiming to bypass the anti-defection law.  While the regional outfit's founder questioned this merger, sixty-four rebel state legislators have formed a separate bloc, seeking official recognition from the Election Commission. Amidst this, a senior Trinamool Congress leader was attacked with eggs, and a suspended leader blamed the crisis on leadership ignoring health sector corruption.
