KOLKATA:
Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader and former Rajya Sabha MP Dr Santanu Sen has resigned from his post as the party’s national spokesperson on Thursday, according to news agency ANI.
In his resignation letter addressed to party chief Mamata Banerjee, Sen said he could no longer continue defending the party amid allegations of corruption and public discontent in West Bengal.
His resignation letter reads, "Even though I did not agree with views during various difficult times, I have fought publicly for the party in the media on many controversial issues, for which the common people have often spoken highly of me. But in the current situation, when the people of Bengal have rejected us for various immoral acts and corruption, including the RG Kar case, the Abhaya case, and cash for job corruption, my mind no longer agrees to support them as a spokesperson in any way. Therefore, I want to resign from the post of All India Spokesperson of the Trinamool Congress, taking the verdict of the people into consideration. Please accept and honour my resignation."
