Trinamool Congress supremo Mamata Banerjee announced her resignation as MP from the Lok Sabha in protest against the violence at Nandigram.

Announcing her resignation at a press conference, Banerjee, who represents the South Kolkata Lok Sabha constituency, said, “I am sending my resignation letter to all concerned.”

Citing the possible reason for her move, she said, “it is no longer possible to carry on political activities in West Bengal under the oppressive, one-party rule of the CPM”.

Banerjee, however, did not clarify to whom she had sent her resignation letter.

She also announced her party’s plans to ‘paralyse’ life in the state for an indefinite period from Monday.

“The CPM in a planned manner is resorting to violence to recapture Nandigram totally,” Banerjee said.
