Fresh after resigning from the Trinamool Congress and the Rajya Sabha, Sushmita Dev said that her political future lies in Assam, not Bengal. Dev, who was a Congress Lok Sabha MP from Assam’s Silchar, left the party in 2019 after losing her seat to the BJP’s Rajdeep Roy.
In 2021, she joined the TMC. She quickly rose through the ranks, becoming the party’s national spokesperson and later securing a Rajya Sabha berth.
However, she left the TMC on Wednesday, becoming the second Rajya Sabha MP to do so as the party faces an existential crisis following its 2026 rout. When asked why she had taken the decision, she told India Today, “I have both personal and political reasons. Where I do politics and how I do it is my personal right. If I am giving up my TMC membership, then I should give up my Rajya Sabha seat as well.”
