Sushmita Dev, Congress leader, who resigned from the party, earlier in the day, has joined the All India Trinamool Congress (TMC) party led by West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. Dev had sent her resignation letter to Congress interim chief Sonia Gandhi and had also changed her Twitter bio to 'Former Member' of the party.
While in the Congress party, Dev headed the party's women's wing, the All India Mahila Congress. She is the daughter of the veteran Bengali Congress leader Santosh Mohan Dev and was a member of the 16th Lok Sabha from the constituency of Silchar in Assam.
We warmly welcome the former President of All India Mahila Congress @sushmitadevinc to our Trinamool family!
