IndiaAbu Taher Khan, an MP who defected from the Trinamool Congress (TMC) to the Nationalist Citizens Party of India (NCPI), stated he will not remain in the ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA) or join the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), citing protection of Muslim interests. Khan, along with two other MPs from the Muslim-majority Murshidabad district, skipped a second NDA meeting, signaling their opposition to supporting policies detrimental to Muslims. These three MPs were part of a larger group of 20 TMC legislators who left the party and joined NCPI after the TMC lost power in West Bengal to the BJP. While some of these MPs had previously expressed support for the BJP-led NDA, Khan and his allies now refuse to align with either the NDA or BJP. Meanwhile, TMC leaders claim several of the defecting MPs are still in contact with Mamata Banerjee, while others dismiss such claims.
