The last prominent face of the Trinamool Congress in Tripura, Pijush Kanti Biswas, resigned from the party on July 25. Mr. Biswas was the chief of the party’s State unit.
Mr. Biswas, who had switched over from the Congress in 2022, sent his resignation from the post as well as primary membership of the party to Trinamool chief and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.
The party has witnessed a spate of defections, mostly to BJP and some to the Congress. Former State unit chief Subal Bhowmik, former Minister Prakash Das, and several key office-bearers joined the BJP after the Assembly election in February this year. The Trinamool fared miserably in the election.
