Yusuf Pathan, a Member of Parliament from the Trinamool Congress (TMC) representing Berhampore, has firmly rejected claims that former West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee asked him to resign from his parliamentary seat. In a statement, Pathan described the rumors as 'completely false' and clarified that he had not been approached by Banerjee or any TMC leader regarding his resignation. The speculation arose following media reports suggesting that Sourav Ganguly was mediating between Pathan and Banerjee. Ganguly also denied these claims, labeling them as incorrect and urging the media to avoid spreading unfounded rumors. The controversy comes amid discussions about Banerjee's political future following TMC's recent electoral setbacks, with some speculating that she might seek a Lok Sabha seat through a by-election. However, Pathan's denial effectively eliminates the possibility of him vacating his seat for Banerjee's candidacy. Pathan had secured a significant victory in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, winning a constituency that was previously dominated by Congress veteran Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury.
