Actress and Member of Parliament Mimi Chakraborty submitted her resignation to Mamata Banerjee, the chief of the Trinamool Congress and West Bengal’s chief minister, but it has not yet been accepted. The Jadavpur MP claims she disagrees with the Trinamool leadership there. She claims that she received assurances from the Chief Minister that the problems will be resolved.

“I had a dream about Jadavpur, but there were many obstacles in my way. “It is quite simple to disparage someone with a film background by implying that they are unemployed,” the speaker stated.

“I don’t understand the nitty-gritty of politics. When I reached out to people, I think it might not have gone down well with a lot of people or may be some of them,” the actor MP added.

A popular filmstar in Bengal, she was elected from Jadavpur in 2019 on a Trinamool Congress ticket. She had defeated political heavyweights – the BJP’s Anupam Hazra and the CPM’s Bikash Ranjan Bhattacharya.

Ms Chakraborty’s move comes at a time when another actor MP from Bengal, Nusrat Jahan, is drawing fire over her silence on the allegations of sexual harassment against Trinamool leaders in Sandeshkhali.

The BJP has targeted the Basirhat MP over photos of her Valentine’s Day celebration with partner and actor Yash Dasgupta. “Priorities matter: In Sandeshkhali, women are protesting for their respect. Meanwhile, the TMC MP of Basirhat is celebrating Valentine’s Day,” the Bengal BJP said in a post on X.

Earlier, both actors have faced criticism for low attendance in Parliament.
