New Delhi: Amid growing tensions within the Trinamool Congress, party MP Kirti Azad on Wednesday dismissed the rebel MP camp, who decided to merge with the Nationalist Citizens Party of India (NCPI), as lacking any political legitimacy and said TMC, led by Mamata Banerjee, remains the "genuine" party.
Speaking to reporters, Azad drew parallels between sports and politics, stating, "Today we see two teams: one real, the Trinamool Congress with its twin-flower symbol led by Mamata Banerjee, and the other a group of defectors with the pen-nib symbol, called the Nationalist Citizens Party of India. "
