Big Leader Quits TMC in Assam, Blames Mamata Banerjee

Ripun Bora, the president of the Assam Trinamool Congress, has resigned from the party. He has written a letter to Abhishek Banerjee, the general secretary of TMC, stating his resignation. He has claimed that people in the northeastern state consider TMC a regional party of West Bengal and are not willing to accept it.

“Suggestions Not Implemented”

Ripun Bora stated in his letter that he had given several suggestions to Mamata Banerjee to make TMC acceptable in Assam, but those suggestions were not implemented. Bora wrote that there are many possibilities for TMC in Assam, but several issues have hindered our progress, including the perception of TMC as a regional party of West Bengal.

Blames Mamata

Ripun Bora claimed that he had suggested the need for an Assamese leader at the national level of TMC, as well as declaring the residence of Bharat Ratna Dr. Bhupen Hazarika in Kolkata's Tollygunge as a heritage site and converting Madhupur Satra in Cooch Behar into a cultural center, but nothing happened.

Worked for Over Two Years

Bora said that he had been trying to meet with Mamata Banerjee and other leaders for the past one and a half years to address these concerns, but he failed. Bora stated that he had worked as the state president of Assam TMC for over two years and had widely interacted with people across the state during this period. Bora said that due to these challenges and the lack of proper solutions, he has taken the tough decision to separate himself from TMC.
