Kolkata: West Bengal Forest Minister Rajib Banerjee has resigned from the post. “It has been a great honour and privilege to serve the people of West Bengal. I heartily convey my gratitude for getting this opportunity,” his resignation letter read.

“I have considered each one of you as my extended family and your support has always motivated me to go the extra mile and be at your service in a better way possible, hence I am announcing my formal resignation on this platform and have informed the concerned authority as well. I hope that in the years to come I will be able to be at each of your service in the best way possible as that has been the sole reason I am into politics,” he added

His resignation comes amid string of exits from Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s Trinamool Congress.
