NEW DELHI: Mamata Banerjee, who has already lost several of her key leaders to the BJP, was jolted by another round of resignations on Thursday.
Suvendu Adhikari, who had set the stage for his exit from the Trinamool by quitting as MLA, today broke ties with the party by resigning from the primary membership.
However, as expected, he did not leave alone.
Trinamool MLA Jitendra Tiwari, who was the Paschim Bardhaman district chief of the Trinamool Congress, also left the party.
Jitendra Tiwari was present at the closed-door meeting that Suvendu had held yesterday at TMC MP Sunil Mandal s residence hours after he quit as MLA.
