Koel Mullick resigns from Rajya Sabha as Trinamool Congress MP

Actor-turned-politician Koel Mullick and member of parliament has resigned from the Rajya Sabha, delivering another blow to the Trinamool Congress. This resignation follows a series of departures within the same week, where three other upper house members also stepped down and subsequently filed nominations for the rival national party. The regional party is currently facing internal turmoil and a split, with several leaders forming breakaway factions after a recent electoral defeat in the state. Another party loyalist also jumped ship recently, as more representatives continue to exit the party.
