Incidentally, he was informed about the notice on Monday while he was at the residence of six-time party legislator Tapas Roy, who resigned as the member of the state Assembly as well as from the primary membership of the party. Mr Ghosh, along with state education minister Bratya Basu had been at Mr Roy’s residence to convince him to refrain from taking the decision.
Speaking to the media, Roy also ridiculed the timing for sending Ghosh the letter of show-cause. “Kunal came to my residence on behalf of the party to convince me so that I do not resign. Interestingly, then only the letter of show-cause was issued to him by the party’s state president Subrata Bakshi,” Roy said.
Mr Ghosh had criticized the party’s north Kolkata MP Sudip Bandyopadhyay. Trinamul Congress MLA Tapas Roy had also criticized Mr Bandyopadhyay on similar lines. Mr Roy today resigned as the MLA this morning.
