TMC Crisis: Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar Resigns Posts & Alleges Misogyny

The internal dynamics of the Trinamool Congress (TMC) are facing a major shakeup as veteran leader and Lok Sabha MP Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar has officially stepped down from all her party positions. This includes her role as a district president, a move she claims is based on moral responsibility following recent electoral setbacks. However, the resignation is just one part of a larger storm brewing within the party.
In a bombshell letter, Dastidar also cited the tragic RG Kar incident and expressed her frustration with the party's current direction, stating that her positions no longer held any real meaning. While she clarifies that she isn't leaving the party entirely and will remain an 'ordinary worker,' her public exit from leadership roles signals significant discontent with the internal functioning of the TMC and the influence of the political consultancy firm I-PAC.
The drama doesn't end there. Dastidar has taken her grievances to the national level by filing a formal complaint with Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla. The target of her complaint is her own party colleague, MP Kalyan Banerjee. She has accused him of repeated verbal abuse and misogyny within the halls of Parliament. This public spat between two senior leaders highlights a growing rift that could have lasting impacts on the party's unity.
As the TMC grapples with these allegations and high-profile resignations, political analysts are watching closely to see how leadership responds. For now, Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar seems determined to voice her concerns, even if it means standing against her own party peers.
