Kolkata, May 27: Veteran Trinamool Congress leader and four-time MP Dr Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar on Wednesday tendered her resignation from all the organisational posts in the party with immediate effect.
Ghosh Dastidar, the MP from Barasat in the North 24 Parganas district, sent her resignation in a letter to the Trinamool state President Subrata Bakshi.
“With immense pain and concern, I am resigning from the post of Chairperson of All India Trinamool Mahila Congress and other organisational posts, committees and responsibilities of the party,” she wrote.
She indirectly attacked the party’s current Chief Whip in the Lok Sabha, Kalyan Banerjee, who had replaced her in the post. “There is no point in holding a post when the indecent behaviour of another uneducated, rude party MP towards a woman MP cannot be stopped, and the cooperation and sympathy of the senior leadership of the party cannot be obtained,” Ghosh Dastidar claimed in the letter.
