Kharagpur, July 5 -- West Bengal Minister Dilip Ghosh on Sunday said that a "wave of resignations" has begun within the Trinamool Congress, alleging that the party "no longer exists."

Speaking on Chandrima Bhattacharya's resignation, Ghosh questioned her role as former Finance Minister, questioning why the state's situation was "dire".

"A wave of resignations has begun within the TMC. This trend will continue because, in reality, their party no longer exists. Chandrima Bhattacharya served as Finance Minister for so many years; was she unaware of the budget? Was the budget prepared without consulting her? Why did this happen?" he told reporters.

The BJP leader also took a swipe at Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee over budget preparations....
