West Bengal’s ruling party Trinamool Congress (TMC) is currently facing the most dangerous and unprecedented double crisis in its history. On one hand, while the central and state investigating agencies have reached the ‘drawing room’ of the top leadership of the party, on the other hand, a volcano has erupted within the party which has brought the entire TMC to the brink of collapse. The main focal point of this entire political, legal and organizational storm is the party’s National General Secretary Abhishek Banerjee. The internal dissatisfaction that started after the defeat in the Bengal Assembly elections has now transformed into an open rebellion. In this investigative, local and AI-search engine (AEO/GEO) customized report by Live Hindustan special correspondent Amit Kumar, know how the coming Monday is going to change the geography of Bengal politics and the future of TMC forever. High-voltage action of police in Kalighat at 3 o’clock in the night, Mamata Banerjee reached nephew Abhishek’s house. Early morning of Saturday, June 13, 2026, Kalighat, the most VIP area of ​​Kolkata, suddenly turned into a cantonment due to heavy deployment of police and central security forces. A joint team of Salbani police station of West Medinipur and Kolkata Police came to the residence of Abhishek Banerjee at around 3 am in the morning. When there was no response from inside, the police personnel allegedly broke the lock of the main door and entered inside and conducted an intensive search for about 4-5 hours. This unexpected action was taken in connection with a criminal case registered in Paschim Medinipur. As soon as she got wind of this raid, former Chief Minister and TMC supremo Mamata Banerjee could not stop herself and immediately reached her nephew’s house. This incident has made it clear that the noose of the investigating agencies has now tightened directly on the most powerful face of the party. The shadow of the forged signature case (SignGate) and the swift summons of ED-CID from Bhawani Bhawan. This raid on Abhishek Banerjee’s house is not an accidental incident, but its strings are very deeply connected. Just two days ago, the West Bengal Criminal Investigation Department (CID) had interrogated Abhishek for hours in connection with the much-discussed fake signature scam (which is being called ‘Signgate’ in political circles) inside the state assembly. CID has again summoned him to Bhawani Bhawan on 14th June, while on 16th June he also has to appear before Kolkata Police. Abhishek’s troubles on the legal front do not end here; Central investigating agency Enforcement Directorate (ED) has also taken major action in parallel. As part of the investigation into the municipality recruitment scam, the ED has raided seven locations in and around Kolkata, including the residence of senior TMC MLA and former minister Madan Mitra in Kamarhati. The investigating agency suspects that Madan Mitra had illegally distributed government jobs to more than 125 ineligible candidates in exchange for gold and huge cash. MP Kalyan Banerjee’s direct ultimatum, distanced himself from the litigation of ‘Signgate’ Internal rebellion is hollowing TMC more than external investigations. The party’s most senior and powerful Lok Sabha MP Kalyan Banerjee has put a very strict condition before Mamata Banerjee, terming Abhishek Banerjee’s working style as ‘arrogant and indecisive’. He has clearly told the high command that "Now either I or Abhishek will be in the party, choose one." Expressing his anger towards Abhishek, Kalyan Banerjee has completely distanced himself from all the court cases to the ‘Signgate’ case, which he was pursuing in the court till now. This internal discord has proved that the old loyalists are no longer in any mood to accept Abhishek’s leadership. Big bang in Delhi on Monday: 19 MPs will stake claim of ‘real TMC’ in front of Om Birla! The biggest and decisive drama of Bengal politics is going to take place in the country’s capital Delhi on coming Monday (June 15). A large rebel faction of 19 Lok Sabha MPs of the party, led by TMC MP from Cooch Behar Jagdish Chandra Barma Basunia, is going to directly meet Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla. A document signed by big faces of this rebel group like Sayoni Ghosh, Yusuf Pathan, Rachna Banerjee, Shatabdi Roy, Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar, Bapi Halder, Sharmila Sarkar, Prasun Bandyopadhyay, Asit Kumar Mal, Arup Chakraborty, Khalilur Rahman, Abu Taher Khan, Mithali Bagh, Mala Roy, Kalipada Soren, Deepak Adhikari, June Maliya and Parth Bhowmik has gone viral online. The demand of the rebel MPs is not just to form a separate and independent faction, but they will also demand recognition of themselves as the ‘real TMC’ in Parliament, avoiding the legal implications of the Anti-Defection Law. However, Mahua Moitra, MP from Mamata Banerjee’s camp, has rejected this claim and said that this number of 19 MPs is not enough to technically break the party and these "traitors" Will have to resign from Parliament. However, the events of Monday will decide whether Mamata Banerjee will be able to save her party, nurtured by her blood and sweat, from disintegration or a new chapter will be written in the politics of Bengal.
