Major political shock after ED action, stir in Bengal politics before July 21

A significant political development has emerged in West Bengal. Madan Mitra, once counted among Mamata Banerjee's most colorful and talked-about leaders for his "O Lovely" style, has left the Trinamool Congress to join a new political camp led by Suvendu Adhikari.

This decision by Madan Mitra, who built his political identity from Bhowanipore and was once Mamata Banerjee's trusted ally—from Youth Congress to Trinamool Congress—has become a major topic of discussion in political circles. It is reported that the political scenario changed rapidly after his wife and son received ED summons.

Just before the July 21 event, when hearings are ongoing in court regarding the Brigade rally, Madan Mitra's party switch is considered a major political blow to Trinamool. This is being viewed as a pivotal event in Bengal's politics.

However, it's important to note that final conclusions can only be drawn after official confirmation and statements from concerned parties regarding this incident and its causes.
