New Delhi: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee is likely to issue a showcause notice to two Trinamool Congress (TMC) MPs on Friday.

Sudip Bandopadhyaya and Kalyan Banerjee went ahead and supported the Lokpal Bill in Lok Sabha on Thursday without consulting her after meeting Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee.

TMC, a key UPA ally, did not support the Lokpal Bill in the Upper House on Thursday.

A Trinamool MP had earlier said his party does not support any move that will affect the federal structure.
