A fierce internal battle within the Trinamool Congress erupted Friday as a rebel faction led by Ritabrata Banerjee seized control of the party's Kolkata headquarters, Trinamool Bhawan. The group held a meeting and locked the premises, prompting a strong reaction from Mamata Banerjee's camp. The rebels, claiming majority MLA support, have also approached the Election Commission to stake their claim on the party's symbol and funds, escalating the political drama.
