Chandra Kumar Bose, the grandnephew of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, stepped down from his primary membership in the TMC on Monday, stating personal reasons for his departure. Bose had initially become a member of the party in April 2026, just before the West Bengal Assembly polls. Reflecting on his political journey, he remarked, "I've been in the Forward Bloc, BJP and TMC. I'm disillusioned with the mainstream political parties. They are all the same...just two sides of the same coin."
