TMC MLA Humayun Kabir Threatens to Form New Party
A politician named Humayun Kabir, who is part of a big political party called TMC, is threatening to start his own party.
He is unhappy with the local leaders in his area and wants them to change.
If they don't, he says he will start his own party on January 1, 2026, and run for elections.
The current party says they are not worried and he can leave anytime.
Other political groups are criticizing him because he has changed parties many times before.
This could affect the votes in some areas where many Muslims live.
TMC MLA Humayun Kabir threatened to form a new party if the TMC district leadership isn't rectified.
Kabir stated he will launch the new party on January 1, 2026, and contest 50-52 seats in West Bengal.
The TMC responded that Kabir has been show-caused for breaching party discipline and can leave anytime.
Kabir's move is seen as potentially affecting the TMC's minority vote base in Murshidabad and surrounding areas.
Opposition parties, including the BJP and CPI(M), have criticized Kabir's history of switching political parties.
