Claim
After the assembly split, Mamata Banerjee's party has now also split in the Lok Sabha: more than two-thirds of TMC MPs — 20 out of 28 — have rebelled and separated from the party.
“आज की बड़ी खबर यह है कि विधानसभा के बाद आज लोकसभा में भी ममता बनर्जी की पार्टी टूट गई। तृणमूल कांग्रेस के दो तिहाई से ज्यादा टू थर्ड एमपी ने बगावत कर दी है। 28 में से 20 सांसदों ने अपना रास्ता अलग कर लिया है।”▶ Watch source segment
Rationale
Central assertion — that after Assembly-level dissent, 20 of TMC's 28 Lok Sabha MPs (more than two-thirds) rebelled and separated — is supported by multiple reports. 28 total and 20 rebels match sources; two-thirds of 28 (≈19) is exceeded.
