Trinamool Congress rebel MPs Prasun Banerjee, Mala Roy, Satabdi Roy, Sudip Bandyopadhyay, Arup Chakraborty, Kakoli Ghosh and Sayoni Ghosh met Union Minister Bhupender Yadav at his Delhi residence. During the meeting, BJP MP Nishikant Dubey is also present. The rebel MPs are also likely to meet West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari later in the day, PTI reported.

Speaking briefly at Delhi airport, both Roy and Ghosh declined to comment on the ongoing political developments. “I will answer the people of my constituency, not you,” Ghosh told reporters.

The developments come a day after senior TMC leader and veteran parliamentarian Sudip Bandyopadhyay, long considered one of Mamata Banerjee’s closest confidants, joined the rebel camp following meetings with Union Ministers Amit Shah and Bhupender Yadav in Delhi.
