Three NCPI MPs from Murshidabad skip NDA meetings over Muslim voter concerns

moneycontrol.com

Three former TMC MPs now with the NCPI are skipping NDA parliamentary meetings, fearing voter backlash in their Muslim-majority constituencies in West Bengal's Murshidabad region. Khalilur Rahaman, Abu Taher Khan and Yusuf Pathan skipped the NDA's weekly meet while attending a separate development-focused meeting with Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari. They say they won't support legislation against Muslim interests or join the BJP-led alliance. The MPs, part of 20 TMC rebels who joined the NCPI after Bengal's May assembly elections, hope to contest the 2029 polls on the NCPI ticket. Both TMC and BJP criticized their position.
