Rebel TMC MLA Humayun Kabir May Launch New Party
A Trinamul Congress (TMC) politician, Humayun Kabir, might start his own political party.
He's upset with some local leaders and plans to run in about 50 seats in the 2026 elections.
He says he's not mad at the top TMC leaders, but the local ones aren't listening to the instructions.
Another politician thinks the BJP might be helping him to divide votes.
Kabir has given a deadline to the party chairperson to look into his issues.

Kabir's party could contest around 50 seats, primarily in districts with significant Muslim populations.
