Trinamool Congress MP Prakash Chik Baraik resigned from the Rajya Sabha, adding to the political uncertainty
June 11, 2026: The Trinamool Congress (TMC) suffered another setback on Thursday after Rajya Sabha MP Prakash Chik Baraik resigned from the Upper House. Baraik submitted his resignation to Rajya Sabha Chairman C.P. Radhakrishnan, thanking the Chairman, Deputy Chairman and Rajya Sabha Secretariat officials for their support and cooperation during his tenure as a Member of Parliament.
In his resignation letter, Baraik stated that he was stepping down from the Rajya Sabha with immediate effect. While expressing gratitude to the House leadership, he did not provide any specific reason for his decision to resign. The resignation has sparked fresh political discussions, particularly as the party continues to face internal challenges.
Baraik’s exit comes at a time when the TMC is dealing with growing unrest and a series of political developments involving senior leaders and lawmakers. Political observers believe the resignation could further intensify speculation about the party’s future parliamentary strategy and whether more leaders may choose to distance themselves from the organization in the coming days.
