Days after the Trinamool Congress lost a few of its recently held Lok Sabha seats to the Bharatiya Janata Party, two of its MLAs and more than 50 councilors abandoned to the national party on Monday. One MLA of the Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M), as well, escaped. The BJP said mass migration of Trinamool pioneers to the BJP will occur in “seven stages” — this being the first.
While the TMC lost Subhrangshu Roy (Bijpur MLA) and Tusharkanti Bhattacharya (Bishnupur MLA), the CPI-M saw the takeoff of Debendra Nath Roy, an administrator from Hemtabad. Roy’s dad Mukul Roy, who was once considered as a nearby comrade of TMC supremo and Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, had joined the BJP in 2017. A previous railroads serve, the senior Roy, before, had been addressed by the CBI regarding the Saradha chit reserve trick. His child was suspended from the TMC on Monday for hostile to party exercises.
The director and the bad habit executive of the sheets of the Naihati, the Halishahar and the Kanchrapara districts, alongside more than 50 councilors, as well, joined the BJP. A bunch of TMC pioneers at the Panchayat level likewise changed their loyalty. “Amid the decision crusade, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had said that 40 MLAs from West Bengal are in contact with us and Derek O’Brien (TMC pioneer in the Rajya Sabha) had tweeted that it won’t occur. Today, more than 50 councilors and three MLAs have joined the BJP,” said the BJP’s West Bengal in-control Kailash Vijayvargiya. They joined the BJP at its home office in Delhi.
“Much the same as the seven-stage Lok Sabha decision, we will have joining of pioneers from the TMC to the BJP in seven stages. Today was only the main stage,” he said. “This is the finish of Mamata’s oppression. Our all the best with her that she remains till 2021, however in the event that her kin continue leaving her, at that point I can’t support her.”
