'Maharashtra model' in place in Bengal, 50 TMC MLAs to stake claim on symbol: Riju Dutta
TMC's expelled spokesperson Riju Dutta said that "Maharashtra model", in which Shiv Sena was bifurcated into two factions, is in place in West Bengal. He said 50 TMC MLAs are looking to break party ranks. "We are a two-thirds majority," he said, adding that this faction should be allowed to retain the party symbol. "We are real TMC," he said.
