After the crushing defeat and loss of power in the West Bengal Assembly elections 2026, the rebellion within the Trinamool Congress (TMC) has now come openly on the streets. Shocked by the historic defeat in its stronghold like Phalta, TMC has suffered its biggest internal shock so far. Amid the formation of Chief Minister Subhendu Adhikari’s new government, Mamata Banerjee’s highly trusted and four-time MP from Barasat Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar has resigned from the party’s organizational posts. Not only this, there is news in the political circles that she may soon resign from the membership of Lok Sabha (MP).
Son’s big statement – ‘Job and ration scam has tarnished the family’s image’
The inside story behind this suicidal step of Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar has been told by his son Vaidyanath Ghosh. According to media reports, Vaidyanath clearly said that his mother has resigned from the post of TMC District Officer and Mahila Morcha President and she can also leave the post of MP. He said in very strong words that the countless scandals and scams that took place during the Mamata Banerjee government have tarnished the social image of his educated and respectable family.
‘How long can we tolerate corruption?’ RG tax incident also mentioned
Talking about the decades-old family relationship between Mamata Banerjee and his mother, Vaidyanath said, “He is still close to Mamata Banerjee, but how long can one tolerate corruption? During Partha Chatterjee’s tenure, jobs were sold openly, due to which lakhs of educated youth of the state became unemployed. Jyotipriya Mallik had to go to jail in the ration scam. After this, the shameful incident at RG Kar Medical College Hospital shook the entire country. All these We and respected leaders like us are suffering the consequences of our sins. Now people have started pointing fingers at us. My mother was silent till now only because of personal relationships, but now the water has gone above her head.
Responsibility for defeat or resentment with TMC leadership?
Officially, Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar, in his resignation letter sent to Trinamool Congress state president Subrata Bakshi, has taken moral responsibility for the party’s very poor electoral performance in Barasat and North 24 Parganas districts. It is noteworthy that out of the seven assembly seats falling under Barasat Lok Sabha constituency, TMC has lost six seats badly. However, political experts believe that the script of this resignation was written a few days ago, when Kakoli was removed from the post of Chief Whip of TMC in the Lok Sabha and this responsibility was handed over to senior MP Kalyan Banerjee.
Will Kakoli Ghosh join BJP? Home Ministry gave Y category security
The market of speculation in Bengal politics has become heated after the Union Home Ministry suddenly provided ‘Y’ category security to Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar immediately after his resignation from TMC posts. Is she going to join Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)? On this question, her son clarified, “This is not a matter of joining BJP. My mother is just taking a strong stand that she cannot continue being a part of this institutional corruption. She had to raise her voice against this rotten system, and that is what she did.”
