Trinamool Congress (TMC) Rajya Sabha MP Rukmini Mallick resigned from the Upper House on Thursday by submitting her resignation to the Rajya Sabha Chairman. In her resignation letter, she requested that her resignation be accepted with immediate effect and expressed gratitude to the Deputy Chairman and the Rajya Sabha Secretariat for their support and cooperation during her tenure as a Member of Parliament. The resignation comes as another significant political development involving the Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress.
Rukmini Mallick has become the fourth TMC Rajya Sabha MP to resign from the Upper House in recent years. Earlier, senior party leaders Sukhendu Shekhar Ray, Susmita Dev, and Prakash Chik Baraik had also stepped down from their Rajya Sabha memberships. While no official reason for Mallick’s resignation has been disclosed, the move has drawn political attention as it adds to the list of senior Trinamool Congress leaders who have left the Upper House, raising speculation about future political developments within the party.
The Trinamool Congress, led by West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, remains one of the country’s major regional political parties with a significant presence in Parliament. Rukmini Mallick’s resignation is expected to create a vacancy in the Rajya Sabha, and attention will now turn to the party’s next decision regarding the seat. Political observers are also watching closely to see whether Mallick makes any public statement explaining the reasons behind her resignation or outlining her future political plans.
