At this point, keeping track of the Trinamool Congress requires a flowchart:
1) TMC-Ekhono Jibito – The “still alive” Mamata Banerjee faction.
2) TMC-Rito – The Ritabrata faction.
3) TMC-Dimakranto – The egged faction. (People are moving court to get protection from getting egged)
4) TMC-Poribortito – Those who’ve suddenly “reformed” after joining the BJP.
5) TMC-Utshorgito – Those who’ve completely dedicated themselves to the BJP (NCPI edition).
6) TMC-Dhrito – The arrested faction.
7) TMC-Dhora Porbo Na Toh – The faction whose only motto is not getting arrested.
8) TMC-Khonj Nao Toh – The “missing in action” ministers who seem to have vanished from public view.
At this rate, the Election Commission may need separate symbols just to keep up.
