Netaji's grandnephew Chandra Kumar Bose quits TMC, cites 'personal reasons'
In a resignation letter addressed to Mamata, Bose said he was stepping down from the primary membership of the Trinamool Congress with immediate effect.
Chandra Kumar Bose, grandnephew of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, has resigned from his position within the Trinamool Congress (TMC) citing "personal reasons." This decision comes four months after he joined the party ahead of the 2026 West Bengal assembly elections. In a resignation letter addressed to Mamata Banerjee, Bose stated that he was immediately stepping down from his primary membership in the TMC, citing personal reasons for his departure.
Hours before announcing his resignation, Bose took to social media platform X to express his frustration with the functioning of political parties. He expressed his disappointment with the expectation for party loyalty, even when policies may be detrimental to public welfare. Bose, who previously served as a BJP leader, joined the TMC in a move he described as a "mistake."
He had initially taken time to evaluate political parties before ultimately deciding to join the TMC, believing it to be more inclusive and secular. The recent resignation of Bose marks another significant development in his political journey, as he has consistently spoken out on issues related to constitutional values and inclusive politics.
