Former West Bengal minister Chandrima Bhattacharya revealed on Saturday that she resigned from all positions within the Trinamool Congress (TMC) after party supremo Mamata Banerjee directly questioned her integrity. The flashpoint occurred over the takeover of the party headquarters by a rebel faction—an accusation Bhattacharya said deeply wounded her and left her with no choice but to sever ties.
The West Bengal Assembly on Monday passed two Bills by voice vote to abolish the existing Other Backward Classes (OBC) list used for reservations in state government jobs.
