Claim

The Mamata faction has the right to approach the courts, and it is rejecting the rebel faction's claims.

“ममता गुट के पास यह अधिकार है कि वो अदालत का दरवाजा खटखटा सके इसीलिए ममता गुट बागी गुट के दावों को खारिज कर रहा है।”

Rationale

As of the July 2, 2026 broadcast, both components of the claim match the record of the TMC split: the Mamata-loyalist faction did resort to the judiciary (Kolkata High Court over the Leader of Opposition post) and publicly rejected the Ritabrata-led rebel faction's claims to the party name, symbol and organisation as illegitimate. The 'right to approach the courts' is a routine legal fact available to any party, and the anchor's causal linkage ('therefore') is editorial framing rather than a discrete verifiable fact, but the underlying assertions are borne out by contemporaneous news reporting. No fact-checker flagged the statement; confidence is moderate because it is partly interpretive commentary rather than a hard numeric or documentary claim.
