Mamata camp locks TMC office used by MP Saayoni Ghosh

Mamata camp locks TMC office used by MP Saayoni Ghosh
TMC's Mamata Banerjee camp locks party office used by Saayoni Ghosh, questions her allegiance · telegraphindia.com

A big political party in India called the TMC is having a fight inside itself.

After the party lost an election, two groups started fighting over who is in charge.

One group supports the leader Mamata Banerjee, and the other group says she lost the support of most of the party's elected members.

Some TMC members of Parliament joined a different, small party called the NCPI, which works with the NDA.

One of those MPs is a woman named Sayani Ghosh, who was elected from a place called Jadavpur.

People who support Mamata Banerjee got upset that Ghosh was still using a TMC office.

So they locked the office and put up signs saying 'Go Back Sayani' and 'No place for traitors.'

They said a TMC office cannot be used to do work for another party.

The party may also try to remove those members of Parliament for switching parties, and people are still deciding who is really in charge of the TMC.
