Guwahati, Sept 1: In a major political development, Trinamool Congress (TMC), Assam president Ripun Bora on Sunday resigned from the party, claiming that the people of the northeastern state consider it as a “regional party” of West Bengal and are not willing to accept it as their own.
In a letter to All India Trinamool Congress general secretary Abhishek Banerjee, Bora, a former Rajya Sabha member, said he had offered many suggestions to party supremo and West Bengal Chief minister Mamata Banerjee to make TMC acceptable in Assam, but those were “not implemented”.
“Assam TMC has great potential, but several recurring issues have hindered our progress, including the perception of TMC as a regional party of West Bengal. To counter this perception, we made several suggestions,” Bora said in his resignation letter.
Bora said he has served as the State president of Assam TMC for more than two years and during this period, he interacted extensively with people across the State.
