Trinamool Congress revealed that Mausam Noor decided to leave the party due to uncertainties regarding a Rajya Sabha nomination for another term. Noor, currently an MP, faces the end of her term in April and is considering contesting the upcoming West Bengal Assembly elections from Malda. Allegations suggest that conflicts with district leadership over minor issues and campaigning for her cousin, a Congress MP, in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls led to her departure.
Noor, a two-time former Congress Lok Sabha member, rejoined the Congress at the party headquarters in Delhi in the presence of key party leaders. Trinamool Congress district leadership mentioned the unfavorable political situation and improved relations with her brother as factors influencing her decision. Feeling optimistic about securing a Congress ticket for the Assembly polls, Noor returned to her former party.
Trinamool Congress officials expressed mixed reactions to Noor’s departure, with some highlighting her previous benefits from the party and others criticizing her actions. The move has sparked discussions on potential impacts on district politics and the future of the Trinamool party. Despite differing opinions, the overall consensus remains uncertain about the consequences of Noor’s shift in allegiance.
