Trinamool Congress parliamentarian from Jadavpur Kabir Suman stuck to his resignation threat on Wednesday,but also maintained that party chief Mamata Banerjee should understand his problems and find out a political solution.

Noted painter Suvaprasanna met Suman for reconciliation on Wednesday and later in the evening,Suman met litterateur Mahasweta Devi. I am not going to Lok Sabha for the time being, Suman said. And I am sticking to my wish of tendering my resignation as an MP. But I want Mamata Banerjee to find a political solution to the problem.

The issue began recently with Suman expressing his displeasure over the functioning of the party and told the media that some party leaders were not allowing him to carry out development activities.

Irked about the meeting with Suvaprasanna,Suman said: Why send Suvaprasanna to talk to me? He is not a political man. I am a political man and the questions I have raised are political.

Trinamool leaders,however,chose to stay mum. Partha Chatterjee,TMC legislator and the Leader of Opposition in state Assembly,said: I do not want to comment. Our leader Mamata Banerjee is in Delhi,she will decide.

Suman had offered to quit on Tuesday after Mamata Banerjee described him as a guest in Trinamool Congress. How can I be a guest? an infuriated Suman had said. I pay subscription to the party as a member. I was elected as a party candidate and sit in the Treasury benches with other Trinamool MPs. If anyone describes me as a guest,I may not have an option other but to step down as a parliamentarian.
