Claim

TMC has 28 Lok Sabha MPs; splitting from the party requires 19 MPs together under the anti-defection threshold, and the rebel group has 20, so the numbers clearly meet the requirement.

“ममता की पार्टी के लोकसभा में 28 एमपी है। पार्टी से अलग होने के लिए यानी 19 सांसदों का एक साथ आना जरूरी है। लेकिन पार्टी के खिलाफ जाने वाले सांसदों के गुट में 20 एमपी है। तो नंबर तो बिल्कुल क्लियर है।”

Rationale

The arithmetic is correct (two-thirds of 28 ≈ 19; rebels have 20), but the claim frames a bare numerical 'split' of 19+ MPs as sufficient to legally separate. Since the 91st Amendment (2003) deleted the split exemption, only a merger with another party qualifies — experts say the 20-MP bloc could still face disqualification, materially distorting the 'numbers are clearly clear' impression.
