Satabdi Roy, who has been associated with Banerjee since 2009, said the Trinamool chief Mamata Banerjee had changed significantly in recent years.

The crisis within the Trinamool Congress deepened further on Tuesday as actor-turned-politician and four-time MP Satabdi Roy publicly criticised the party leadership and explained why she chose to break ranks.

After senior leaders Sukhendu Sekhar Roy and Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar voiced their dissatisfaction, Satabdi Roy became the latest prominent Trinamool leader to raise concerns about the functioning of the party led by Mamata Banerjee.

Satabdi Roy, who has been associated with Banerjee since 2009, said the Trinamool chief had changed significantly in recent years.

“Didi badal gayi thi," she told NDTV. “She changed a lot in the past few years. I have an emotional connection with her, but what matters to me is the work, and hence I have taken this decision," she added.
