With just six months left to go for the assembly elections, the vice-president of the Tripura unit of Trinamool Congress (TMC), Abdul Basit Khan, resigned from the party on Saturday.
In a letter to the state in-charge of TMC, Khan stated, “I hereby tender my resignation from the post of the vice-president (Tripura) of the TMC party with immediate effect.”
His resignation comes just a few days after the TMC removed Subal Bhowmik as its Tripura state president with immediate effect.
No reason was given for his removal from the party’s top position. A press statement issued by the party stated, “Subal Bhowmik is being relieved from his duties of state president of Tripura Pradesh Trinamool Congress with immediate effect. All other members of the state committee, state youth committee, state Mahila committee, state SC cell and state ST cell shall continue in their positions as-is.”
