TMC appoints Rajya Sabha MP and ex-MLA as party's Goa unit co-in-charge

The TMC on Monday appointed its Rajya Sabha MP Sushmita Dev and another senior leader from Bengal, Sourav Chakraborty, as the party's Goa unit co-in-charge.

Dev quit the Congress and joined the TMC in August last year.

She was elected unopposed to Rajya Sabha from West Bengal mid-September.

In November, the TMC appointed Mahua Moitra as its Goa unit in-charge.

''Our Hon’ble Chairperson Smt. Mamata Banerjee is pleased to appoint Smt. Sushmita Dev (Hon’ble MP, Rajya Sabha) and Dr Sourav Chakraborty (Ex-MLA, Alipurduar) as the State co-in-charges of the AITC Goa unit with immediate effect (sic),'' a statement issued by the party said.

Elections are scheduled to be held in Goa sometime this year.
