NCPI Prepares for Parliament Debut with TMC Rebels
A new political party called the Nationalist Citizens Party of India (NCPI) is getting ready to start in Parliament.
This party suddenly became important because 20 members from another party, the Trinamool Congress (TMC), joined them.
The NCPI says they will support the BJP-led NDA in Parliament.
They have a new president, Jyotiprakash Chatterji, and are setting up their offices.
The party is also getting a lot of attention on social media and has many people wanting to join.
They are waiting for the Election Commission to approve their symbol and party details.
The NCPI, a previously obscure party, gained prominence after 20 rebel TMC MPs joined, making it the fourth-largest party in Parliament.
NCPI's loyalties lie with the BJP-led NDA, and its MPs will support NDA proposals in Parliament.
Jyotiprakash Chatterji, the new NCPI president, has a past association with the BJP and is focused on strengthening the party's structure.
The party is awaiting approval from the Election Commission for its symbol and newly constituted apex committee.
NCPI claims to have a large organization with thousands of members in Bengal and Tripura, and is experiencing a surge in interest from potential members.
