Second Trinamool MP quits Rajya Sabha
Sushmita Dev, a Trinamool Congress MP, resigned from the Rajya Sabha and the party on Wednesday (June 10, 2026), citing her inability to fulfill the expectations of her constituents in Assam. Dev met with Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma shortly after her resignation, but did not confirm if it was a step towards joining the BJP. This follows another MP's resignation from the party this week and speculation about ownership of the Trinamool Congress in the Lok Sabha.
