Dinesh Trivedi while tendering resignation said, “The voice of my soul is saying that sit here and sit silently and if you cannot do anything, then resign from here.”
In the biggest blow ever to West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, her close aide and TMC Rajya Sabha MP Dinesh Trivedi announced his own resignation during the budget session. Trivedi said during the proceedings of the House, “Atrocities are increasing in my Bengal and I am not able to do anything. I feel weird sitting here. My conscience is telling me that if I am unable to do anything, I should resign.”
What did Trivedi say in Rajya Sabha?
Trivedi said in the beginning, “There is a moment in the life of every human being when he hears his inner voice. A similar moment has come in my life. I was sitting here wondering why we come into politics? For the country. The country is the most important. Two days ago the Prime Minister and Ghulam Nabi Azad were also expressing their feelings for the country. There were one ruling party and one opposition. When I was Railway Minister, a similar moment came in my life that day…the party was big enough to grow on its own.”
The country led by the Prime Minister fought against Corona
Dinesh Trivedi said, “Even today when we see what is the situation of the country. The whole world looks at India. Even during Covid-19, the world was watching how India moves forward. 130 crore people jointly fought against Covid-19, under the leadership of the Prime Minister.”
“I feel suffocated with the Violence happening in my state”
He said, “The way violence is happening in my province (Bengal), I feel strange sitting here. We come from the birthplace of Rabindranath Tagore, Subhash Chandra Bose, Khudiram Bose. I cannot see it now. I am in a party and have some rules, but now I feel suffocated that we are not able to do anything. At the same time, atrocities are increasing in Bengal. The voice of my soul is saying that sit here and sit silently and if you cannot do anything, then resign from here. I will continue to work for Bengal.”
Meanwhile, TMC MP Sukhendu S Roy has issued a statement on the resignation of his party MP Dinesh Trivedi. He said that Trinamool means grassroots. He said that Trivedi’s resignation has given the party an opportunity to send a worker of our grassroots level to the Rajya Sabha.
In the last two months in Bengal, 11 TMC leaders have joined BJP. The process of joining BJP intensified from 19 December.
