Trinamool Congress (TMC) Lok Sabha MP Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar has resigned from all party posts, according to a statement released on Friday. The decision comes amid internal party developments, though she cited personal reasons for her resignation.
Resignation Details
Dastidar, who represents the Basirhat constituency in West Bengal, submitted her resignation to TMC chairperson Mamata Banerjee. She will continue to serve as a Member of Parliament but will no longer hold any organizational responsibilities within the party.
In her resignation letter, Dastidar expressed gratitude to Banerjee for the opportunities provided. She stated that her decision was made after careful consideration and that she remains committed to the party's ideals.
Background
Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar is a two-time MP from Basirhat. She has been associated with the TMC for over a decade and held various positions, including the party's spokesperson and state secretary. Her resignation has sparked speculation about possible internal differences, though no official confirmation has been made.
The TMC leadership has not yet commented on the resignation or announced a successor for her party roles. Political analysts suggest that this move could be part of a broader reshuffle within the party ahead of upcoming elections.
