Trinamool Congress leaders resign following West Bengal election loss

Mosaraf Hussen, a Trinamool Congress MLA and state minority cell chief from North Dinajpur, announced his resignation, citing his mother's illness and his alignment with a rebel faction of the party. He praised Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari and said he would attend the upcoming budget session of the new BJP‑led state government.

In the Barrackpore area of North 24 Parganas, eight Trinamool members of the Shiuli Gram Panchayat, including Pradhan Arun Kumar Ghosh, submitted their resignations to respect the verdict of the recent West Bengal Assembly election, which saw the party lose power. The departures are part of a broader pattern of Trinamool representatives stepping down from municipal and panchayat posts across the state, leading to disruptions in local civic services.

These resignations reflect the party’s adjustment to the new BJP‑led administration and the shift in political dynamics within West Bengal.
