TMC Leader Santanu Sen Resigns as National Spokesperson Citing Corruption and Election Defeat
Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader and former Rajya Sabha MP Dr. Santanu Sen resigned as the party's national spokesperson, citing corruption allegations and the handling of the RG Kar rape-murder case. His resignation follows that of TMC MP Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar, who stepped down from organisational posts amid internal party tensions after the party's defeat in the 2024 West Bengal Assembly elections. Sen acknowledged the people's verdict and expressed inability to support the party amid controversies including the Abhaya case and alleged cash-for-jobs scams.
