What happened
Three rebel Trinamool Congress (TMC) MPs said they will not attend meetings connected with joining the National Democratic Alliance (NDA). The MPs linked their refusal to having voters to answer to, and they contrasted voter accountability with coalition alignment.
Background and earlier position
The MPs’ statements were made in response to political attempts aimed at bringing rebel TMC members into the NDA fold. In coalition politics, such attempts commonly involve coordination meetings that can function as a step toward closer alignment.
What changed now
The change is the public, stated refusal: the three rebel TMC MPs said they will not attend NDA-connected meetings. The MPs’ stated reason is electoral accountability rather than support for NDA coalition strategy.
