PTI
Another TMC MLA, Shilbhadra Dutta, has now quit the Trinamool Congress (TMC). Dutta tendered his resignation letter to party supremo Mamata Banerjee on Thursday without citing any specific reasons, but will remain an MLA.
âWith due regards, I am tendering my resignation as a member of All India Trinamool Congress as well as from other positions held by me in the party and itâs associate organizations with immediate effect,â reads the letter from Dutta.
The mass exodus from TMC is worrisome for the ruling party in West Bengal, moreso as this comes ahead of Union Home Minister Amit Shahâs visit to the state. Former West Bengal transport Minister Suvendu Adhikari who is a big mass leader after Mamata, is likely to join the BJP in the next two days.
