Ghosh clarified that she is not leaving the Trinamool Congress and would continue to remain associated with the party as an ordinary worker.

Trinamool Congress MP Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar has resigned from all organisational positions within the party, marking a significant development ahead of the West Bengal Assembly elections. In a letter addressed to state Trinamool president Subrata Bakshi, the Barasat MP said she was stepping down after “deep mental conflict and long contemplation."

While clarifying that she is not leaving the Trinamool Congress, Kakoli said she would continue to remain associated with the party as an ordinary worker in the interest of Bengal and its people.

The resignation comes amid growing tensions between the senior leader and sections of the party leadership. Just a day before tendering her resignation, Kakoli attended an administrative meeting in Kalyani chaired by Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari, despite reportedly being informally discouraged by the party from doing so. Following the meeting, the Chief Minister claimed that Kakoli had told him she finally felt “free".
