There is panic in TMC after the defeat in West Bengal Assembly elections. Eight councilors including the chairman of Bhadreshwar Municipality of Hooghly district have resigned. Chairman Praloy Chakraborty claims that he resigned out of respect for public opinion. He also took responsibility for the defeat of the Trinamool candidate in the assembly elections.
Trinamool A source said that after the political changes, there was difficulty in getting donations. In such a situation the councilors no longer want to work. A group of BJP again taunted and said that the councilors have resigned out of fear of their names being implicated in allegations of corruption in recruitment.

There are 22 wards in Bhadreshwar Municipality under Chandannagar Assembly. In the last municipal corporation elections, Trinamool had won 20.
