Fresh setback for TMC as West Bengal unit President Chandrima Bhattacharya resigns

The Trinamool Congress (TMC) suffered another political setback on Saturday after Chandrima Bhattacharya, president of the party's West Bengal unit, resigned from all party posts. Her resignation comes amid a series of leadership exits and growing internal unrest within the party, adding to the challenges facing the TMC in the state.

Bhattacharya was appointed as the West Bengal unit president only last month as part of a major organisational reshuffle aimed at strengthening the party. Her departure follows recent resignations by several party leaders and reports of factional differences, raising fresh questions over the party's organisational stability.

While she has stepped down from party responsibilities, the reasons behind her resignation have not been officially disclosed.

The resignation comes at a time when the TMC is dealing with internal divisions and political challenges following recent electoral setbacks. Party leaders are yet to announce a replacement or outline the next steps to reorganise the state unit. Political observers believe the latest development could further impact the party's efforts to rebuild its organisation in West Bengal.
