Why Chandrima Bhattacharya’s exit from TMC deals a body blow to Mamata camp | Political Pulse News
Chandrima Bhattacharya, a former TMC minister and close aide of Mamata Banerjee, resigned from all party posts, citing lack of loyalty and the rebels' capture of the party headquarters. Her resignation is significant as she was recently appointed state party president for the Mamata-led TMC. The move fuels concerns about the party's morale and acceptance, especially with 60 of its 80 MLAs supporting Arup Roy as party chairperson and 20 Lok Sabha MPs joining the NCPI. Bhattacharya has been a key figure in the TMC since its formation, serving as an advocate and minister under Mamata Banerjee.
