Development comes two days after Suvendu Adhikari joined the BJP together with 9 MLAs and one MP.
BJP chief Sujata Mondal Khan, who’s the wife of president of West Bengal Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha and Bishnupur Lok Sabha MP Soumitra Khan, on Monday joined the Trinamool Congress, saying she didn’t get the respect she deserved within the BJP.
“I was a BJP worker when the party had two MPs. Now there are 18. There are many opportunists who are joining the BJP… it has become a B-team of the Trinamool Congress. Why should I not join the TMC now,” she advised journalists on the Trinamoool Congress headquarters in Kolkata.
Ms. Khan expressed hope that good sense would prevail over her husband and he would return to the Trinamool Congress.
Ms. Khan got here into prominence for campaigning virtually single-handedly for her husband within the 2019 Lok Sabha polls. Mr. Khan was a Trinamool Congress MP earlier than becoming a member of the BJP.
Senior Trinamool Congress Saugata Roy welcomed Ms. Khan into the celebration and acknowledged her contribution in serving to her husband win from Bishnupur. In 2019, Mr. Khan was not allowed to marketing campaign in Bishnupur space due to authorized points. It was Ms. Khan who campaigned for her husband and the BJP received the seat. “We are happy that Sujata is joining the Trinamool Congress,” Mr. Roy stated.
The improvement comes two days after heavyweight Trinamool Congress chief Suvendu Adhikari joined the BJP with 9 MLAs (six from the Trinamool Congress, three from different events) and one MP.
In one other improvement, there was violence on the BJP’s ‘Jogdaan Mela’ (becoming a member of rally) at Durgapur in Pascghim Bardhhaman, the place employees from different events have been scheduled to affix the celebration. Supporters of the BJP got here to blows and attacked one another with chairs and furnishings.
