Former President of the Tripura unit of Trinamool Congress (TMC), Surajit Datta has resigned from the party.
"I have resigned from TMC and sent my resignation to Mamata Banerjee, but not going to disclose the reason now. I am discussing the matter with my supporters and future course of actions would be drawn soon", Datta told reporters here today.
Datta, a former PWD minister of the state and five time MLA had joined the TMC in September, 2013.
