India, June 8 -- Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra rallied behind Mamata Banerjee on Sunday as a revolt deepened in the party's parliamentary ranks. Moitra branded the MPs moving toward the BJP-led NDA as "traitors with yellow-stained pants" and dared them to resign and recontest on a BJP ticket.

"MPs won in 2024 on TMC ticket. Mandate was NOT for NDA," the Krishnanagar MP wrote on X on Sunday evening, even as some rebel MPs openly said they were aligning with BJP-led NDA.

"All the greedy self-serving traitors with yellow-stained pants can please join BJP now - resign your seats & contest on BJP ticket. Let's see what big heroes you are," she wrote.
