BJP national team meets at headquarters; Nitin Nabin chairs session

The Election Commission has frozen the original Trinamool Congress party name and its twin flower symbol ahead of the upcoming West Bengal by-polls following a split. The commission allotted temporary identities to both factions: Mamata Banerjee's camp received the name Mamata All India Trinamool Congress with the football player symbol, while the rebel faction was named Democratic Trinamool Congress with the envelope symbol. The rebel camp claimed the support of 64 out of 80 MLAs. Both sides traded charges, with the rebel faction criticising party functioning and Mamata's camp calling the decision undemocratic. Opposition allies condemned the move, while the BJP dismissed any involvement in the internal feud.

In response, VCK chief Thol Thirumavalavan clarified that his remarks questioned whether coalition partners left purely out of a desire for power, or if the sudden entry and seat accommodation of the DMDK created dissatisfaction among existing allies. Both parties presented contrasting arguments concerning coalition dynamics and political motives.
