Pawan Varma resignation came days after Nitish Kumar returned to the Mahagathbandhan and formed a new government in Bihar
Trinamool Congress leader Pawan K Varma tendered his resignation to party president Mamata Banerjee on August 12, 2022.
His resignation came days after Nitish Kumar returned to the Mahagathbandhan and formed a new government in Bihar, snapping the JD(U)’s ties with the BJP-led NDA in Bihar.
Mr. Varma tweeted, “Please accept my resignation from the @AITCofficial. I want to thank you for the warm welcome accorded to me, and for your affection and courtesies. I look forward to remaining in touch. Wishing you all the best, and with warm regards.”
Mr. Varma, a former JD(U) MP, had joined Trinamool Congress last year, saying it was the need of the hour to work for strengthening the Opposition.
Mr. Varma and poll strategist Prashant Kishor were expelled from the JD(U) in 2020 when they vehemently opposed the controversial Citizenship Amendment Act.
