Trinamool Congress sees senior resignations amid internal dissent

Veteran actor and MP Shatrughan Sinha dismissed rumours that he was leaving the Trinamool Congress, saying he remains loyal to West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee, who he credits with supporting him during difficult times.

Former Rajya Sabha MP Sushmita Dev announced her resignation from the party, stating she could not be "in two boats at the same time" and hinting at differences with party leadership. She met Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma after quitting, describing the visit as a courtesy. Dev's exit follows the recent resignation of senior leader Sukhendu Sekhar Ray and adds to speculation about internal unity within the Trinamool Congress ahead of upcoming elections.
