Former Rajya Sabha MP Pavan Varma on Friday sent his resignation to West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee, just 10 months after joining the party.

The former Janata Dal-United (JDU) leader announced his exit from Trinamool Congress on Twitter tagging Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee. The move triggered speculations that he will go back to his former party, JDU.

This development comes two days after Bihar CM Nitish Kumar returned to the Mahagathbandhan, breaking JD(U)’s alliance with the NDA in Bihar.

The diplomat-turned-politician was sacked from the JD(U) over the issue of the Citizenship Amendment Act as he did not agree with the stand of Nitish Kumar on the issue. He was expelled by the JDU in January 2020 along with the then party’s national vice-president Prashant Kishor for allegedly not following party discipline.

Varma had joined the Trinamool Congress in November last year after a stint with the Janata Dal (United).
