Biswas, also a lawyer, sent his resignation to Banerjee on Tuesday, thanking her and Trinamool Congress national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee, for giving him the opportunity to serve the party.
He was earlier Tripura unit president of the Congress. In December last year, he along with several other leaders quit Congress and joined the Trinamool Congress.
Biswas did not mention any reason for his decision in the resignation letter. However, while talking to the media here, he said the reasons are “personal”.
“Since I am unable to discharge my responsibilities as state president of Trinamool Congress, there is no point in holding the post. That’s why I put in my papers,” he said.
Biswas, however, refused to comment on his future course of action in politics.
He was appointed Trinamool Congress’ Tripura unit president in December last year.
