Mamata Removed As TMC Chief: Rebels Set To Claim ‘Real Trinamool’ Before EC
West Bengal politics has witnessed a dramatic twist after a rebel faction within the Trinamool Congress (TMC) announced that Mamata Banerjee has been removed from the position of party chairperson. The development has triggered one of the biggest political crises in the history of the Trinamool Congress and could significantly impact the future of the party in the state.
The rebel group, led by Ritabrata Banerjee, has reportedly appointed veteran leader Arup Roy as the new chairperson and is preparing to approach the Election Commission (EC) to seek recognition as the “real Trinamool.” The move comes amid growing internal divisions within the party following recent political setbacks and leadership disputes.
Why Was Mamata Removed As TMC Chief?
According to reports, rebel MLAs held a meeting in Kolkata where they voted to replace Mamata Banerjee as the party chief. The dissident leaders argued that the party needs new leadership and a fresh direction after recent challenges faced by the organization. The faction also removed key leaders from influential positions and announced a parallel leadership structure.
While the rebels claim they are acting in the best interests of the party, leaders loyal to Mamata Banerjee have rejected the decision and insist that she remains the legitimate head of the Trinamool Congress. The loyalist camp has described the rebel move as politically motivated and lacking constitutional validity within the party framework.
Rebel Faction Claims To Be The ‘Real Trinamool’
The most significant aspect of the rebellion is the claim that the dissident group represents the “real Trinamool.” Rebel leaders have stated that they will approach the Election Commission to seek official recognition and potentially stake a claim to the party’s election symbol.
Political observers compare the situation to similar party splits witnessed in other states, where rival factions fought legal and political battles over party names, symbols, and leadership recognition. If the Election Commission accepts the rebel faction’s plea, it could trigger a prolonged political and legal battle.
Growing Rift Within The Party
The removal of Mamata Banerjee from the chairperson’s post is only the latest chapter in an ongoing internal conflict. Over the past few weeks, multiple reports have highlighted divisions among MLAs and MPs within the Trinamool Congress. Several leaders have openly questioned the party’s direction and leadership decisions.
The rebel camp claims to have substantial support among legislators and has even formed a parallel organizational structure. Some reports suggest the faction enjoys the backing of dozens of MLAs, making the crisis more serious than a routine internal disagreement.
What Could Happen Next?
The next major step will be the Election Commission’s response. The rebels are expected to present evidence supporting their claim that they represent the majority of the party’s elected representatives. The EC will likely examine organizational strength, legislative support, and party constitution provisions before making any decision.
Meanwhile, Mamata Banerjee’s supporters are expected to challenge the rebels’ claims and defend the legitimacy of the existing leadership. Legal proceedings could also follow if both sides seek control over party assets, symbols, and organizational structures.
Impact On West Bengal Politics
The political implications of this development are enormous. The Trinamool Congress has been one of the most influential political forces in West Bengal for years. A formal split could reshape the state’s political landscape and affect future elections.

Analysts believe that continued infighting could weaken the party’s organizational strength while providing opportunities for rival political groups to expand their influence. The coming weeks are expected to be crucial in determining whether the Trinamool Congress remains united or faces a permanent split.
Conclusion
The headline “Mamata Removed As TMC Chief” marks a significant moment in West Bengal politics. With rebels claiming to represent the “real Trinamool” and preparing to move before the Election Commission, the battle for control of the party has entered a decisive phase. Whether the rebels succeed or Mamata Banerjee retains authority will depend on political negotiations, legal challenges, and decisions by constitutional institutions in the days ahead. For now, the Trinamool Congress faces one of the most serious internal crises in its history.
