How different viewpoints frame this

Progressive

The rift reflects right-wing efforts to weaken regional opposition to BJP dominance while Mamata participates in INDIA bloc meetings.

“Preservation of secular federalist front against central poaching”

Conservative

Three terms of TMC rule have produced factionalism, corruption, and intolerance for dissent within a personality-driven party.

“Accountability failures and value of competitive federalism”

Libertarian

Anti-defection rules and party loyalty demands limit individual legislators' ability to realign based on constituent interests.

“Exit rights and costs of centralized party machines”

Devil's Advocate

All views accept the NDA offer and traitor framing without verifying numeric thresholds or examining Ritabrata Banerjee's parallel claim.

“Legislative arithmetic and local power stakes over national morality narratives”
