Sukhendu Sekhar Ray Quits TMC and Resigns from Rajya Sabha

Senior Trinamool Congress leader and Rajya Sabha MP Sukhendu Sekhar Ray has resigned from both the Upper House of Parliament and the primary membership of the All India Trinamool Congress (AITC). In his resignation statement, Ray said he was accepting what he described as a historic mandate in favour of the BJP and alleged that widespread corruption, crimes against women, and failures in sectors such as healthcare, education, industry, law and order, and employment had led to public dissatisfaction with the TMC government. His resignation marks a significant political development in West Bengal's evolving political landscape.
