After 30 years in politics, rebel TMC MLA Madan Mitra hints at exit

Madan Mitra, a long-serving TMC MLA who has spent three decades in politics, has hinted at stepping back from public life. The veteran legislator's remarks signal growing discontent within the Trinamool Congress ranks following the party's poor performance in recent Bengal elections.

Mitra was among the TMC legislators who defected to the rebel faction led by Ritabrata Banerjee in the aftermath of the electoral setbacks. His potential exit would mark the end of a significant political career spanning multiple terms in the state assembly.

The remarks from the rebel MLA underscore deepening divisions within the TMC as the party grapples with internal dissent over its recent electoral performance. Mitra's consideration of stepping away from politics reflects the broader discontent that prompted several party members to join the rebel faction.
