Veteran TMC MLA Tapas Roy resigned from the party on Monday predominantly due to an ED raid conducted at his flat on 12th February. Roy alleged that the raid was Sudip Banerjee's conspiracy as he carries malice against Tapas. The Sandeshkhali matter, a few scams, alleged ill-treatment and neglect were also among the reasons for his resignation. Moreover, Kunal Ghosh and Bratya Basu attempted to dissuade Tapas Roy but he resigned nonetheless. However, Kunal Ghosh requested him not to join any other party until the matter is sorted.
