Bengal: Infighting, discontent brewing in TMC ahead of 2021 assembly polls

, 5 news, a view

Infighting and discontent seems to be brewing in the Mamata Banerjee-led TMC ahead of the 2021 assembly polls, with several top party leaders coming out in the open against the state government's handling of post cyclone Amphan restoration works and the coronavirus pandemic.

The growing dissatisfaction among the party rank and file over various issues has put the top TMC leadership in a fix with just ten months to go for the state assembly polls.

With last year's Lok Sabha poll results indicating a paradigm shift in the state politics with the saffron party emerging as the principal challenger to the TMC, the stakes are high for the Trinamool Congress and time is precious for Banerjee to set the house in order before assembly polls.
