NEW DELHI: “Nominated” Rajya Sabha member Swapan Dasgupta resigned from the Upper House of Parliament on Tuesday since he was named as a BJP candidate in the West Bengal assembly elections on Sunday (March 14), even while rival Trinamool Congress was preparing to ask for his disqualification from the House.
Nominated by the President of India, Dasgupta joined the House on April 25, 2016 and his term would have lasted till April 24, 2022. But, he has to quit his membership now that he has decided to represent a political party, following Rajya Sabha rules for “nominated” members.
However, Dasgupta’s resignation comes two days after his candidature was announced and a day after Trinamool Congress MP Mohua Moitra flagged the issue of his disqualification from the Upper House. Moitra raised objections to Dasgupta being named as a BJP candidate for the assembly polls in Bengal.
