The 'rebel' hit by rebellion: How Mamata's TMC journey has come full circle

Mamata Banerjee's political journey in West Bengal has come almost full circle.In 1998, Mamata walked out of the Congress after years of differences with its leadership and formed the Trinamool Congress. She believed the Congress was not doing enough to challenge the Left Front, which had been ruling West Bengal for decades.28 years later, Didi, as she is fondly called, is now herself a step away from losing control of her party to a rebellion. Her Trinamool Congress has split, and rivals in the party, who once worked under her are now challenging her control. The Election Commission has temporarily frozen the party's original name and its well-known 'Jora Ghash Phul' (flowers and grass) symbol while it decides which faction has the “real” claim.And what's more!
