TMC crisis deepens as third MP resigns from Rajya Sabha party

The letter, which has been submitted by Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar in her capacity as “chief whip”, has given Bengal assembly Speaker’s recognition of Ritabrata Banerjee-led TMC rebels, who are also over two-third of the party MLAs, as an example, sources confirmed on a day when the party suffered another setback as its RS member Prakash Chik Baraik resigned from it and the Upper House, making him the third to do so since Monday.
