TMC MP Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar quits all party posts, remains in Lok Sabha

Lok Sabha MP Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar resigned from all organisational posts of the Trinamool Congress on Wednesday, days after publicly airing her disappointment with the party leadership. The parliamentarian, who recently skipped key party programmes and voiced discontent over the TMC's internal functioning, submitted her resignation from all party responsibilities. She, however, continues as MP. Dastidar held several positions in the TMC, the most prominent among those being the president of the party's women's wing. Significantly, she attended the administrative meeting on Tuesday, chaired by Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari, despite objections from the TMC leadership.
