Trinamool Congress leader Dr. Santanu Sen has resigned as the party's national spokesperson, citing the 2024 RG Kar rape-murder case and corruption as reasons. This comes a day after Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar stepped down from all her party posts.
In his resignation letter, Sen stated that his mind no longer agrees to support the party as a national spokesperson on "immoral acts". He also mentioned the party's failure to protect him from abuse, indirectly referring to Kalyan Banerjee.
Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar had earlier resigned as the chief of the party's women's wing and had accused Kalyan Banerjee of misogyny and verbal abuse. Banerjee had replaced her as the Trinamool Congress chief whip in the Lok Sabha.
The Trinamool Congress lost power to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the recently concluded West Bengal elections 2026.
