KOLKATA: Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee s key former lieutenant and one of the heroes of the Nandigram agitation Suvendu Adhikari on Wednesday afternoon tendered his resignation from the West Bengal Legislative Assembly amid a strong buzz that he is set to join the BJP.
Suvendu s resignation ahead of the upcoming Assembly elections is said to be significant in Bengal s present political scenario. The ex-Nandigram MLA had resigned from the state cabinet last month.
Suvendu s departure is not seen as the end of TMC s troubles. A number of disgruntled functionaries in the ruling party have started expressing their discontent accusing a section of party leaders of being involved in corruption. They are also unhappy with political classes being taken by election strategist Prashant Kishor and his team.
