Three Nationalist Congress Party of India (NCPI) MPs defied party leadership by skipping a crucial NDA breakfast meeting held by PM Modi on August 10.
The dissenting MPs, including Abu Taher, refused to join the BJP-led alliance, citing a need to raise public issues independently rather than aligning with the ruling coalition.
Two of the MPs reportedly met with West Bengal CM Suvendu Adhikari, signaling potential shifts in regional political equations ahead of upcoming legislative sessions.
