Despite TMC is at the verge of breakdown, Mamata Banerjee has not become completely irrelevant. She is still alive and active, may be the signs of calm before storm. Amayra Women's Pure Cotton Printed Straight Kurta Set with Palazzo Pants & Dupatta- Ethnic Wear, White
The statement by Panchla MLA Gulshan Mullick highlights a strategic internal change and hopes inside TMC. He said, "Didi is our supreme leader, not merely an advisor. We would continue our journey under her leadership."
By declaring Mamata Banerjee as the "supreme leader" rather than a retired advisor, the rebel faction is trying to avoid the political backlash of directly alienating her massive, loyal voter base and separate her immense popular charisma from the day-to-day party management they are actively revolting against.
A faction of 58 TMC MLAs submitted a formal letter to the Speaker claiming the Opposition benches, pushing for a complete restructure of the party's legislative leadership. However, the rebels have carefully targeted their grievances at the growing influence of Abhishek Banerjee, rather than challenging the supreme authority of the party matriarch herself.

While the rebels attempt to shield Mamata from their uprising, loyalists are hitting back hard. TMC MP Mahua Moitra delivered a blazing critique, dismissing the rebels as leaders who have merely "ridden off of Mamata Didi's charisma". Moitra further clarifies, that the party's 41% vote share (amounting to 2.6 crore votes) was won on Mamata Banerjee's name and the party symbol, not the individual popularity of the legislators.
Loyalists have challenged the 58 rebel MLAs to formally resign from their posts and test their personal mandate under an entirely new banner.
The West Bengal political landscape is locked in a high-stakes standoff. The rebel MLAs want to reshape the party's future without completely cutting ties with its founder, while the party core demands absolute conformity to the existing hierarchy.
