BJP's Amit Malviya shares TMC MPs' WhatsApp spat, sparking controversy; TMC leaders blame each other, escalating party infighting.
Infighting within Bengal’s ruling Trinamool Congress came to light on Tuesday (April 8, 2025) after a video of an alleged verbal spat between party MPs and screenshots of heated exchanges from its official WhatsApp group for parliamentarians went viral.
BJP’s IT cell chief Amit Malviya shared the screenshots during the day, claiming the conversations showed a bitter argument between TMC MPs Kalyan Banerjee and Kirti Azad.

PTI, however, could not independently verify the authenticity of the screenshots circulating on social media.
According to Mr. Malviya, the war of words on WhatsApp was sparked by an earlier public spat at the Election Commission headquarters between two TMC parliamentarians, one of them a woman.
The MPs had reportedly gone there to submit a party memorandum, but the situation turned tense and ended in a confrontation, which later spilled over to internal party communication channels.
Speaking to reporters in Kolkata, Mr. Banerjee admitted that an altercation did take place, but pinned the blame on the woman MP.
