At a press conference in Delhi, TMC MPs Saugata Roy and Sagarika Ghose accused the Commission of acting at the behest of Union home minister Amit Shah to co-opt the Opposition.The loyalists argued that the ECI has no jurisdiction to interfere in internal party matters or recognise “expelled” members, demanding to know why independent or rebel MLAs were being given full-bench appointments.“The Commission has written to both Mamata Banerjee and Ritabrata Banerjee over the claims and counterclaims made by their respective factions regarding the organisational elections and authorised signatories of the All India Trinamool Congress (AITC). Both sides have been directed to submit their responses by 5:30 pm on Monday, July 6, 2026,” ECI officials said.Separately, the Kolkata high court, while hearing a petition by the Mamata Banerjee-led faction, challenging the debit freeze of the party’s bank accounts, directed the HDFC Bank to disclose the corpus held in those accounts.
