Infighting in the Trinamool Congress in West Bengal's Murshidabad district came to the fore on Friday when an MLA of the party allegedly threatened to "break the bones" of another TMC legislator. In a video shown on TV channels, the TMC MLA from Bharatpur, Humayun Kabir, a long-time politician from the district who had been with the Congress in the past, was seen issuing the threat at a party programme. "Rejinagar MLA Rabiul Alam Chowdhury has become too proud, arrogant. I will teach you a lesson if you dare to cross my path. I will break your bones," Mr Kabir thundered at the meeting amid applause by a section of his supporters. Reacting to Mr Kabir's comments, TMC secretary-general Partha Chatterjee said the Bharatpur MLA has been showcased.
