MLA Sabina Yasmin resigns as women’s wing president of Ritabrata faction: Another setback for Ritabrata Banerjee’s faction. Former minister and Sujapur MLA Sabina Yasmin resigns as president of the women’s wing of the Democratic Trinamool Congress. Yasmin sent her resignation letter to the party’s state president Biplab Mitra, stating that while she was stepping down from the post, she was not leaving the party.
In her resignation letter, Yasmin cited health-related issues as the reason for stepping down. Managing the responsibility would require her to travel across the entire state, which is not possible on her part. This can be seen as the first sign of a rift within the Ritabrata Banerjee-led faction. The resignation has raised questions about the stability of the group.
Yasmin’s resignation comes days after she had joined the Ritabrata Banerjee faction, which had removed Mamata Banerjee as party president and suspended Abhishek Banerjee as general secretary in June.
