West Bengal minister Dilip Ghosh on Wednesday took a swipe at the Trinamool Congress (TMC), saying "the sooner this party ends, the better," as the ruling party's internal crisis deepened with rival factions staking claim to the organisation and its legislative leadership.
The remarks came as a group of rebel TMC MLAs led by Ritabrata Banerjee, who has declared himself Leader of the Opposition, met West Bengal's Chief Election Officer amid an escalating battle over control of the party.
