Kolkata: The absence of many TMC legislators from the party's first major protest programme on Wednesday after its defeat in the 2026 West Bengal Assembly polls triggered fresh political chatter, with the development coming a day after internal discussions reportedly centred on the need for the party to return to street politics.
A section of TMC MLAs staged a sit-in near the Ambedkar statue on the assembly premises against "post-poll violence" and hawker eviction drives, marking the party's first coordinated agitation after being pushed to the opposition benches following 15 years in power.
