Abhijit Majumdar, who has been with the Assam unit of the Trinamool Congress (TMC) for over two decades, has resigned, expressing concerns that the party has 'lost its vision.' He criticized TMC for becoming a 'sectarian outfit' focused on securing Muslim vote banks rather than representing all communities. Majumdar, one of the founding members of TMC in Assam, stated that the party, under the leadership of Mamata Banerjee, has become increasingly Bengal-centric, neglecting the needs and interests of Assam. He voiced disappointment over the party's failure to protect Hindu interests, claiming it has betrayed the principles on which it was established. His resignation comes shortly after another TMC leader, Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar, stepped down from her position as president of the All India Trinamool Mahila Congress, although she remains a party member. This shake-up follows TMC's recent electoral losses in West Bengal, where the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) formed its first government.
