In a significant political development, Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Prakash Chik Baraik has resigned from the Rajya Sabha, becoming the third TMC leader to step down in a week. BJP leader Shahnawaz Hussain commented on the situation, suggesting a growing sense of dissatisfaction within the TMC ranks.

Hussain stated that many TMC leaders perceive the party as no longer a suitable platform, prompting what he described as the 'wiser ones' to resign. This statement comes amid a backdrop of recent resignations, fueling speculation about potential alignments with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

Following his resignation, Baraik acknowledged the prevailing public sentiment in West Bengal and hinted at future political moves, although he is yet to decide on joining the BJP. He clarified his departure was not due to any personal grievances with TMC chief Mamata Banerjee.
