Newly inducted Bharatiya Janata Party leader Suvendu Adhikari on Monday claimed that his resignation as West Bengal MLA has been accepted following his meeting with assembly speaker Biman Banerjee.
"Assembly speaker had called me regarding my resignation as MLA of the House. Today, I met him... I was told my resignation has been accepted," he said.
Adhikari, a former Trinamool Congress minister and MLA, quit all posts and had switched over to the saffron camp last week.
