Chandrima Bhattacharya, former West Bengal Finance Minister and a long-time supporter of Mamata Banerjee, resigned from all posts within the Trinamool Congress on Saturday, July 4, 2026. She cited a lack of consultation during important decisions as her reason for leaving, suggesting she has aligned with the rebel faction led by Ritabrata Banerjee. Bhattacharya's resignation is another setback for Banerjee, who now faces further challenges within her party.
