**Banerjee Accuses TMC MPs of Abandoning Him After Alleged Threat**

**NEW DELHI:** In a surprising turn of events, Kalyan Banerjee, the Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP who recently stepped down as the party’s chief whip in the Lok Sabha, has leveled accusations against his own parliamentary colleagues. Banerjee alleges a lack of support following an incident where he claims to have been threatened by a BJP Member of Parliament.

“I felt abandoned,” a source quoted Banerjee as saying. “When I faced what I perceived to be a serious threat, I expected my party members to stand with me. That support was not forthcoming.”

Banerjee’s resignation as chief whip earlier this month fueled speculation about internal rifts within the TMC. This latest outburst further intensifies the focus on potential divisions within the party.

While details of the alleged threat remain somewhat vague, Banerjee’s public criticism underscores the perceived lack of solidarity and raises questions about the cohesiveness of the TMC’s parliamentary contingent. The TMC leadership has yet to officially respond to Banerjee’s accusations. The incident is likely to add to the already heated political atmosphere in the lead up to the upcoming elections.
