Sushmita Dev, who resigned from the Congress party on Sunday, has joined the Trinamool Congress (TMC) on Monday. Dev, who was the All India Mahila Congress president and a former MP from Assam's Silchar, gave information about her resignation to Sonia Gandhi through a letter.
Before resigning, Sushmita Dev had also left the WhatsApp group of the Congress party. At the same time, she changed her Twitter bio to "Former Member" of the party. She took this step after Twitter has suspended her account. She was also one of the leaders whose Twitter account has been suspended along with Rahul Gandhi.
Meanwhile, former Pradesh Congress Committee Chief of Assam and Rajya Sabha MP Ripun Bora urged her to withdraw the resignation and work towards strengthening the party. He said, "It is very unfortunate and I think it is a setback to our party. I think Sushmita was a very hardworking and dedicated Congress leader and recollect many of my memories with her. I never thought that she will do like this. Congress party is like a family and work for the family."
Former congress leader Sushmita Dev became an MP from Silchar seat of Assam in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections by contesting on a party ticket. After that, she served as president of All India Mahila Congress. But, her resignation has become even more trouble for the Congress after the defeat in the Assam Legislative Assembly elections.
