Latest News about Ritabrata Banerjee
Ritabrata Banerjee was expelled from the All India Trinamool Congress (TMC) in June 2026 for alleged anti-party activities, shortly after he and fellow MLA Sandipan Saha complained that their signatures were forged in party communication endorsing Sobhandeb Chattopadhyay as Leader of Opposition. The party cited his repeated failure to attend meetings and involvement in anti-party activities as grounds for expulsion.
Following his expulsion from TMC, Ritabrata Banerjee became the 13th Leader of the Opposition in the West Bengal Legislative Assembly in June 2026. He had previously won the Uluberia Purba constituency in the 2026 West Bengal Assembly elections, surviving the BJP wave that reduced TMC's tally from 215 seats in 2021 to just 80 seats.
