Major Upheaval in TMC Following Mamata’s Defeat in Bengal; Senior MP Kakoli Ghosh Resigns Big explosion in TMC after Mamata’s defeat in Bengal, senior MP Kakoli Ghosh resigns

After the crushing defeat in the West Bengal Assembly elections, the political troubles of former Chief Minister and Trinamool Congress (TMC) supremo Mamata Banerjee are showing no sign of abating. On Wednesday, Didi suffered another major blow when her close aide and one of the most senior faces of the party, MP Kakoli Ghosh, resigned from all her posts in TMC. This decision of Kakoli Ghosh has indicated a major rebellion within the TMC which is struggling with the pain of election defeat.

Got this reward for four decades of loyalty? Kakoli’s pain was spilled

Kakoli Ghosh has stood shoulder to shoulder with Mamata Banerjee for the last several decades. She was playing the role of Chief Whip of TMC in the Lok Sabha for about 9-10 months. But recently, Mamata Banerjee relieved him of this responsibility and made Kalyan Banerjee the Chief Whip in his place.

Kakoli Ghosh was extremely hurt by this decision of the party. Expressing his displeasure on social media, he had written, “Association since 1976, journey started in 1984. Today I have been rewarded for four decades of loyalty.” After this emotional and sharp post, speculations were being made that she may soon leave Mamta.

The script of Kakoli Ghosh’s resignation was being written continuously for the last few days. Recently, after the defeat of TMC in the West Bengal elections, the Central Government had cut the security of many leaders including Abhishek Banerjee, while upgrading the security of Kakoli Ghosh to ‘Y’ category security.

After this, the political temperature rose further when Kakoli Ghosh along with six other TMC MLAs reached Kalyani on Tuesday to attend the administrative review meeting of the new West Bengal Chief Minister Subhendu Adhikari. Before attending this meeting, he had also resigned from the post of Barasat organizational district president of TMC and in his resignation letter had raised serious questions on the functioning of election strategist organization ‘I-PAC’.

These MLAs also increased the heartbeats of Mamata Banerjee

In this important meeting of Shubhendu Adhikari, not only Barasat MP Kakoli Ghosh, but many other prominent TMC MLAs were also present. Those who took part in the meeting included:

  • Anisur Rahman Biswas (MLA, Deganga)

  • Bina Mandal (MLA, Swarupnagar)

  • Mohammad Abdul Matin (MLA, Haroa)

  • of Basirhat area Three other TMC MLAs

Seeing so many public representatives standing together in the support of Chief Minister Shubhendu Adhikari can become a cause of big trouble for Mamata Banerjee in the coming days.

BJP MP’s big claim: TMC will fall apart like a pack of cards!

Amidst this entire political drama, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Soumitra Khan has created a stir in Bengal politics by making a sensational claim. Soumitra Khan said on Wednesday that there is huge dissatisfaction within the Trinamool Congress after the crushing defeat in the assembly elections.

“About 50 TMC MLAs and 20 MPs are currently very angry with the party leadership. All of them are ready to switch sides. If the BJP’s central leadership gives the green signal just once, then the Trinamool Congress will cease to exist. All the leaders want to join the BJP.”

Kakoli Ghosh’s resignation and the turmoil within TMC clearly indicate that saving her party’s clan from disintegration has become the biggest challenge for Mamata Banerjee at this time.
