Kolkata: Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Mimi Chakraborty on Thursday had tendered her resignation from the MP post to party Supremo Mamata Banerjee.
Though her resignation cannot be considered as formal as an MP she will have to submit her resignation to the Speaker of Lok Sabha.
Talking to the media, Mimi said that her resignation has not been accepted by the Chief Minister.
"Mamata didi did not accept my resignation. I have not spoken anything bad about opposition parties. What will I say about my own party? I have informed didi about the problems that I was facing while serving people but will not disclose it in front of the media,” said the actor-turned-politician.
Mimi had won from Jadavpur constituency in the previous general election in 2019.
Earlier, Mimi had also resigned from the two parliamentary committees and also from the post of the chairperson of Rogi Kalyan Samiti in two hospitals.
It can be recalled that TMC Ghatal MP Deepak Adhikari (DEV) had also decided that he will not contest the poll this year but following the meeting with Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and TMC national secretary Abhishek Banerjee, actor-turned-politician Dev had decided to continue in politics.
