Will quit LS before joining Cong: Mitra

Dissident Trinamool Congress MP Somen Mitra Friday said he has decided to leave the party and go back to Congress,while stating he would resign from his Lok Sabha membership first.

“I have decided to leave Trinamool Congress and go back to my mother party Congress,” Mitra,who was once the president of West Bengal Pradesh Congress Committee,said while inaugurating a Kali Puja here. “But my morality prevents me from joining the Congress while I am still a Trinamool Congress MP,so I will first resign from my Lok Sabha membership and rejoin Congress only after that,” Mitra said. “I have learnt from the mistake I committed by leaving Congress and will rectify it,” he added.
