Senior leader of Communist Party of India (CPI) Gurudas Dasgupta has stepped down as General secretary of All India Trade Union Congress (AITUC) citing personal reasons.
Dasgupta's resignation was accepted at three-days long meet of the AITUC General Council concluded today at Ranchi, said a statement issued by the trade union today.
According to the statement, the council elected AITUC General Secretary Amarjit Kaur as General Secretary of the union along with few other organisational changes.
It said that Dasgupta "decided to step down from the position of General Secretary quoting reasons of old age and difficulty".
