In a series of political resignations, Assam Congress MLA Kamalakhya Dey Purkayastha, along with another Congress MLA Basanta Das, resigned from the post of Working President of Assam Pradesh Congress Committee with immediate effect. Concurrently, Jadavpur TMC MP Mimi Chakraborty announced her resignation from the post of MP, citing differences with local leaders and expressing her disillusionment with politics, stating, "Politics is not for me." Chakraborty's resignation has not been accepted by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, who is reportedly looking into the matter. Chakraborty, also an actor, stated that the dual responsibilities and the inherent criticism in politics led to her decision.
