Senior Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader Chandrima Bhattacharya resigned from the post of West Bengal state president on Saturday, just a month after her appointment. He has also left all other party posts. Speculations about his joining the rebel group have intensified.
Chandrima said that she took this decision after Mamata Banerjee’s displeasure over the phone. On Friday, rebel group leader Ritabrata Banerjee had captured the party headquarters in Kolkata. Chandrima was present in the building at that time, but left from there after some time. Mamta had accused Chandrima of supporting the rebel group.
After Chandrima’s resignation, Mamata herself has announced to take charge of the state unit. He has included Madan Mitra and Kunal Ghosh in the party committee. Banerjee said that this decision has not been taken suddenly. Chandrima was already preparing to leave the party, as her son had already joined BJP.
Meeting with rebel leaders after resignation
Chandrima Bhattacharya has been a three-time MLA, but in the 2026 assembly elections, she was defeated by BJP’s Saurav Sikdar from Dumdum North seat. Shortly after her resignation, Chandrima was seen with the leaders of the rebel group in the assembly.
However, she said that she had only gone to the Assembly for some work as a former MLA and sitting in the opposition room does not mean that she is joining the rebel group. He said that he has not yet taken any decision regarding his political future.
Chandrima’s son and former Kolkata Municipal Corporation councilor Saurav Basu has joined the rebel camp a few weeks ago. He was also present in the meeting of rebel leaders in the Assembly.
Mamta said – won the elections on the strength of the party, now they are betraying it
- The same leaders who won the elections on their party symbol are now saying that the party will no longer exist after 2023. The party itself gave him political identity, but now he is betraying the same party and openly working for the BJP. If you have courage then join BJP openly.
- Some people captured the Trinamool building with the help of central forces. The rent of the building is deposited till October 2027 and the party pays a rent of Rs 1 lakh every month. It is not the property of any person, but the property of ‘Maa, Mati, Manush’. The building may be captured, but not the hearts of the people.
- BJP has gained power by influencing the votes, voter list and counting process. With the help of central forces, the counting centers were captured and the entire process was hijacked. Despite this we have accepted the new government.
