In West Bengal, six Congress Ministers tendered resignation to the Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee in Kolkata on Saturday evening. The Congress Ministers decided to pull out from the state cabinet after Trinamool Congress withdrew support from the Centre. The party will also hand over the letter of withdrawal of support from the Government to the Governor M.K. Narayanan this evening.

AIR Kolkata Correspondent Arijit Chakraborty reports that earlier in the day, the Pradesh Congress Committee met in Kolkata to ratify the AICC directive in this regard. The Mamata Banerjee led Government has no threat after withdrawal of support of Congress as it has the majority.
