“Dear @MamataOfficial Ji, Please accept my resignation from the @AITCofficial. I want to thank you for the warm welcome accorded to me, and for your affection and courtesies. I look forward to remaining in touch. Wishing you all the best, and with warm regards, Pavan K. Varma,” he tweeted.

Varma was appointed TMC national vice-president in December 2021. However, after the formation of the new office-bearers’ committee in February this year, he was not given any formal post in the party.
