TMC MP Sushmita Dev Resigns from Rajya Sabha and Party Amid Leadership Crisis

In another setback for the Trinamool Congress (TMC), Rajya Sabha MP Sushmita Dev resigned from the Upper House on Wednesday. She is the second TMC Member of Parliament to step down within a week, following the resignation of Sukhendu Sekhar Roy, a close aide of party chief Mamata Banerjee. Later, talking to the media, she said "I have resigned not only from Rajya Sabha but from Trinamool Congress, and that is the principal thing to do."
