As TMC crisis deepens, for BJP the real payoff may be in Parliament
The BJP is monitoring internal divisions within the Trinamool Congress (TMC) in West Bengal, hoping a potential split will provide them with the parliamentary support needed for key constitutional amendments. The party draws parallels to previous successful political realignments in Maharashtra and with the AAP.
Why it matters
This highlights the strategic use of internal party fractures to shift legislative power dynamics in the Indian Parliament.
In the West Bengal Assembly, where the BJP enjoys a two-thirds majority and enjoys absolute dominance, the party is keenly watching signs of division unfolding in the 80-member Trinamool Congress (TMC) . The reason, BJP leaders say, is the “larger political prize” in Parliament, where the NDA lacks the numbers required for the smooth passage of key Constitutional amendments.
The framing focuses heavily on the BJP's strategic perspective and potential gains, though it reports on the political maneuvering of multiple parties.
