West Bengal, Dec 16:<\/strong> Disgruntled Trinamool Congress leader Suvendu Adhikari resigns from the membership of the West Bengal Legislative Assembly on Wednesday amid indications that he would join the BJP during Home Minister Amit Shah\u2019s visit to the state on December 19-20. Adhikari, who was MLA from Nandigram, submitted his handwritten resignation to Speaker of the Assembly Biman Banerjee<\/a><\/span><\/span>.<\/p>\n

The growing rift between the TMC and Suvendu Adhikari became apparent after\u00a0he resigned from the post of a minister in the Mamata Banerjee cabinet.\u00a0The 49-year-old leader was in charge of the department of transport, irrigation and waterways. Around the same time, Suvendu Adhikari also resigned from the post of chairman of the Hooghly River Bridge Commission.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, the Trinamool Congress expelled a leader of its East Midnapore district unit, Kanishka Panda, considered close to party heavyweight Suvendu Adhikari.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs of now it is expected that Adhikari will join the\u00a0BJP\u00a0at the (East Midnapore) rally<\/strong>,\u201d said a BJP source. However, sources also said that Adhikari had earlier gone back on two dates of joining that he had committed to the party leadership.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, BJP leader Kailash Vijayvargiya<\/a><\/span><\/span> called up Adhikari to wish him on his birthday, further fuelling speculation. Adhikari, an influential leader with a mass base, could influence votes in at least 40 Assembly constituencies in six districts.<\/p>\n

Suvendu\u2019s rise began after Mamata\u2019s Nandigram movement in Purba Medinipur in 2007, which he closely coordinated on the ground. The Nandigram agitation played a powerful role in ending the Left Front\u2019s 34-year-rule in the Assembly election of 2011. Mamata was impressed, and over the years that followed, she gave respect and importance to Suvendu and his family, and rewarded them for their dedication to the TMC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
