Sabina Yasmin resigns as state women’s wing president
Sabina Yasmin has resigned as president of the Democratic Trinamool Congress’s state women’s wing in West Bengal.
She told state party president Biplab Mitra that health and family problems were behind her decision.
Yasmin said she would still work for the party as a member.
She is an MLA from Sujapur and had joined the faction led by Ritabrata Banerjee after leaving Mamata Banerjee’s Trinamool Congress.
The party role came only a few months after she switched factions, prompting speculation about divisions within the group.
Yasmin has also been summoned as a witness in the investigation into the attack on judges and their vehicle in Mothabari, an incident linked to work on electoral rolls.
It is not yet clear whether she will remain in the Ritabrata faction or make another move.
