TMC MLA Threatens New Party Ahead of 2026 Elections
Imagine a politician named Humayun Kabir who is part of a big political group called TMC.
He's upset with how things are run in his local area.
He said if things don't change, he'll start his own party for people in certain regions.
Other members of TMC say they don't care and he can leave.
Some people from other political parties are also criticizing him for his decision, while others think this move is about getting more power in the future.
It could change who wins in the next election!
