He submitted his resignation letter to Deputy Speaker Biswabandhu Sen. The name of former Minister and senior BJP MLA Ratan Chakraborty is doing the rounds for the post. Sources in the BJP said the resignation of Mr. Das was part of party’s ploy to weaken the dissident camp and strengthen the organisation ahead of the Assembly elections due in early 2023.
