This time at the Delhi residence of four-time Birbhum MP Shatawdi Ray. Shuvendu Adhikari himself was present there. This meeting has sparked various speculations. Following the Lok Sabha style, there is talk of ‘Operation Lotus’ in the Rajya Sabha as well.

At the end of the day, the rebel MLAs held another round of meetings. This time at the Delhi residence of four-time Birbhum MP Shatawdi Ray. Shuvendu Adhikari himself was present there. This meeting has sparked various speculations.

According to sources, earlier in the morning at Union Minister Bhupendra Yadav’s house, Shatawdi Ray, Abu Taher, Khalilur Rahman, and Asit Mal joined the group of disgruntled members but raised some of their own issues. Following that, in the afternoon, MP Shatawdi Ray hosted an evening tea circle at her Delhi residence. To resolve their issues, the Chief Minister Shuvendu Adhikari arrived at the MP’s house. There, one by one, rebel MPs including Kakali Ghosh Dastidar, Asit Mal, Prasun Banerjee, Bapi Haldar, June Malia, Jagdish Basunia, Kalipada Soren, and Arup Chakraborty arrived. Besides resolving issues, several other matters were likely discussed in that meeting. After the Lok Sabha, the target is now the Rajya Sabha. The BJP might attempt to cause a split there using the same strategy. It was reported that this was also a topic of discussion during the tea circle.

It is worth noting that earlier in the day, the rebel MPs held a long meeting with BJP leader Bhupendra Yadav. Subsequently, they sent a letter to Speaker Om Birla. Twenty MPs sent this letter expressing their desire to join the BJP-led NDA alliance. According to political circles, Trinamool will not be able to demand action against the rebels under the anti-defection law. This is because avoiding such action requires the support of two-thirds of the rebels. However, the number of MPs siding with the rebels is far greater than that. In this context, it should be noted that Trinamool has 28 MPs in the Lok Sabha. Of these, 20 are rebels.
