TMC Rajya Sabha MP Prakash Chik Baraik resigns from his post, a development reported as the third such departure from the Upper House within about a week. Both outlets describe Baraik’s resignation as part of a series of recent exits tied to internal turbulence within the Trinamool Congress (TMC). India Today characterizes it as the third resignation in the week, while Times of India places it in the context of a broader pattern of departures from the Rajya Sabha.
The reports also cite two earlier resignations: Sukhendu Sekhar Roy and Sushmita Dev. Times of India adds that Sushmita Dev not only resigns from her Rajya Sabha role but also leaves the party, which fuels speculation about a possible move to another political party after she meets Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma. While the outlets confirm the resignations and the reported meeting, they do not provide conclusive details in their summaries about any subsequent party switch by any individual. The news accounts focus primarily on the timing and sequence of the Rajya Sabha exits.
