Kolkata, Jun 2 (PTI) Former deputy speaker in the previous West Bengal assembly, Asish Banerjee, on Tuesday resigned from the post of chairman of TMC’s Birbhum district core committee.
Banerjee said he has informed TMC state president Subrata Bakshi about his decision.
“I will continue to remain as the party’s general member,” the former Rampurhat MLA said.
Banerjee said he was in consonance with former Lavpur constituency MLA Abhijit Sinha, who resigned as a member of the Birbhum district core committee, accusing it of not functioning in accordance with its political tasks during the assembly election.
Both Banerjee and Sinha faced defeat in the assembly polls.
The BJP won six out of 11 constituencies in Birbhum, while the TMC emerged victorious in five seats in the 2026 polls.
In the 2021 assembly polls, the TMC had won 10 seats and BJP one seat in Birbhum district. PTI AMR RBT
