TMC crisis deepens after Sushmita Dev resigns as Rajya Sabha MP, days after Sukhendu Sekhar Ray

Trinamool Congress' (TMC) Rajya Sabha MP Sushmita Dev has resigned from the Upper House, following the resignation of fellow lawmaker Sukhendu Sekhar Ray two days earlier. This further reduces the party's strength in Parliament, where TMC also faces a rebellion among its Lok Sabha lawmakers. Dev's resignation will pave the way for by-elections in the Upper House, with the BJP likely to win both seats.
