Santanu Sen, a prominent leader of the Trinamool Congress (TMC), announced his resignation as the party's national spokesperson on Thursday, following the disappointing election results from May 4. Sen, who has been with the TMC since its formation, stated that he had always aimed to fulfill his responsibilities, even in challenging circumstances where public sentiment was against the party. He emphasized that the election verdict reflected a disconnect between the party and the electorate, leading to his decision to step down. This resignation comes on the heels of another significant departure within the party, as Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar resigned from her role as president of the All India Trinamool Mahila Congress. Dastidar cited concerns over misogynistic behavior towards women MPs and a lack of support from party leadership as reasons for her resignation. Both departures signal growing unrest within the TMC regarding internal issues and public perception.
