TMC's Luizinho Faleiro resigns as Rajya Sabha MP
Trinamool Congress (TMC) Rajya Sabha MP Luizinho Faleiro resigned from his position on Tuesday, a day after the party lost its national status. The former Goa chief minister has submitted his resignation to Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar. Notably, Faleiro joined the TMC in September 2021 and was elected to the Rajya Sabha unopposed from West Bengal in November of the same year.
Faleiro was asked to resign by party: Report
Citing sources, The Hindu reported that the TMC was not pleased with Faleiro's performance and asked him to resign from the Rajya Sabha. Faleiro was welcomed to the party just before the Goa Legislative elections in February 2022. However, even with Faleiro's name, the party only managed to secure about 5.2% of votes; the loss of its national status can be attributed to that.
