Congress quits alliance in WB

Trinamool to move resolution on FDI in parliament

AGENCIES
As a counter to the withdrawal of support to the India's ruling UPA government by the Trinamool Congress on Thursday, the Congress yesterday pulled out its six ministers from the Mamata Banerjee ministry.
The ministers, who submitted their resignation letters to the chief minister, were Manas Bhuinya (Irrigation, SMEs, Micro Industries, Textiles) and Abu Hena (Fisheries), both of them of cabinet rank.
Ministers of state Sunil Tirkey (Consumer affairs), Abu Naser Khan Chaudhury (Science and Technology and Parliamentary Affairs), Sabina Yasmin (Labour, ESI) and Pramathanath Roy (Planning and Development) were the others.
Party leaders, including WBPCC chief Pradip Bhattacharya, would meet Governor M K Narayanan at Raj Bhavan to formally withdraw support to the state government.
Bhuinya later told reporters that they submitted their resignation letters since the Trinamool Congress pulled
out its six ministers from the UPA government and withdrew support.
“Our submission of resignation letters was a sequel to that and as per the decision of party high command and our state unit,” he said.
After pulling out its six ministers from the Mamata Banerjee govern-
ment in West Bengal, Congress with 42 members becomes the single, second largest party in the 294-member Assembly.
Trinamool Congress has 185 members.
Asked if the Congress would now stake claim to enjoy the status of the Leader of the Opposition in the House as a single party, WBPCC president Pradip Bhattacharya said “We will discuss this issue with the AICC high command."
The Left Front has a total strength of 60, with CPI(M) having 38 members. Suryakanta Mishra of the CPI(M) enjoys the status of the Leader of the Opposition.
Bhuinya said that the chief minister expressed satisfaction at their performance during their tenure as ministers and told them to contact her if they required anything.
Meanwhile, Trinamool Congress yesterday said it will move a resolution on foreign direct investment (FDI) in the upcoming session of the parliament.
