Veteran Trinamool Congress MP Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar resigned from all organisational posts in the party days after stepping down as TMC’s Barasat district president. In her resignation letter, the four-time Barasat MP said she was quitting as chairperson of the All India Trinamool Mahila Congress and other organisational responsibilities. She criticised the conduct of another party MP and expressed dissatisfaction over the lack of support from senior leadership, in an apparent reference to Kalyan Banerjee. Dastidar also raised concerns over alleged corruption in ration distribution and teacher recruitment, along with the RG Kar Medical College rape-murder case. Despite resigning from organisational roles, she has neither resigned as MP nor quit the party. Her exit is seen as a setback for TMC in North 24 Parganas.
