  • In yet another setback to CM Mamata Banerjee-led West Bengal Government, the state's Forest Minister Rajib Banerjee has announced his resignation from the position on Friday.

    The Trinamool Congress (TMC) MLA from Howrah's Domjur also did not give any reason for his resignation.

    Interestingly, he is the fourth minister to quit CM Banerjee-led Cabinet ahead of the State Assembly elections in March-April.

    Credits:
  • Even before resigning, Rajib reportedly skipped several Cabinet meetings and expressed dissent over the TMC's functioning. His resignation comes days after complaining that "some leaders in the Trinamool Congress" were carrying out propaganda against him.

    He struck several discordant notes against the TMC and the government for over two months. TMC leader Partha Chatterjee also held at least two rounds of talks with Rajib.

  • Quote

    Rajib alleged some TMC leaders were running false propaganda

  • "There are a few leaders in the party (the TMC) who only exploit workers. They run false propaganda against me using some party workers," Rajib alleged earlier in January, during a Facebook Live session. However, he did not reveal any names.
