Trinamool Congress rebel leader Suvendu Adhikari has joined the BJP in the presence of union minister Amit Shah at a rally in Midnapore.
TMC MP from Purba Burdwan, Sunil Mondal and former MP Dasarath Tirkey are among those who joined the BJP along with Suvendu Adhikari. Adhikari left Trinamool Congress alleging that there is extremely deep rot within the party.
Adhikari after joining the BJP said that if the same government which rules in Centre does not rule West Bengal then it will hurt the state’s chances of development and economic prosperity.
He questioned TMC chief Mamata Banerjee regarding her opposition towards BJP and reminded her that she was a partner of the NDA-led government when Atal Bihari Vajpayee was the Prime Minister.
Adhikari pointed out that despite knowing several BJP leaders not a single one of them ever asked him to switch sides.
