Another Trinamool Congress MP, Sushmita Dev, has resigned as a member of the Rajya Sabha, the second party MP to resign this week. Dev, a former Congress leader who joined the TMC in 2021, said that the decision to quit was her own. "What prompted me to take this decision is a very long story, and in politics not everything needs to be revealed. I don't want to be in a situation where I am in two boats. I have never stayed in a party and served another. The decision is my own," she told reporters. Dev also refused to say anything about "Mamata didi".
