TMC rebels face public backlash after aligning with NDA

Some politicians in West Bengal, a state in India, changed sides and joined a different team, the party led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Many people who vote for them were not happy about this.

When one politician and his wife returned home from New Delhi, crowds shouted angry slogans at them and they had to run away with police protection.

In another part of the city, supporters of the state's leader, Mamata Banerjee, locked up an office used by a politician who changed sides.

A woman politician who switched teams was told to 'go back' when she visited a town.

Some people said the politicians tricked their voters by leaving the party they had supported.

The politicians who changed sides then went to meet important leaders like the Home Minister and the Prime Minister for help.

They also tried to say they were protecting minority rights, but local people did not believe them.

In the end, the politicians found that big leaders could not protect them from angry voters at home.
