TMC national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee travelled to Delhi on Saturday as the party leadership grappled with growing indications that the rebellion which cost it control of its legislature wing in the West Bengal Assembly could spread to Parliament.
The visit, which came a day before Mamata Banerjee's scheduled trip to the national capital for the INDIA bloc meeting, has triggered speculation within party circles amid reports of efforts to engineer a split in the TMC's parliamentary ranks.
