Abhijit Majumdar, the Trinamool Congress (TMC) unit chief in Assam, resigns from the party, according to multiple reports. Majumdar says the party’s approach is “Muslim-centric” and claims it works only for Muslim voters, framing his exit as a protest against the party’s political direction. The resignations are described as part of a broader period of turmoil and departures within TMC, particularly in the aftermath of the BJP’s sweeping win in the 2026 West Bengal Assembly election, which several outlets link to internal instability and reorganization efforts within TMC. The reports indicate that Majumdar’s resignation adds to an emerging pattern of departures from party posts in the region. While both outlets focus on his allegation that the party prioritizes Muslim voters, they also situate the resignation within wider internal unrest rather than treating it as an isolated incident. No alternative explanations from TMC are cited in the provided summaries. The developments are therefore presented primarily through Majumdar’s claims and the context of ongoing resignations.
