KOLKATA: Lower than 24 hours after Mukul Roy returned to the TMC, the saffron camp acquired one other jolt on Saturday night as BJP chief Rajib Banerjee, a former minister in Mamata’s cupboard, met TMC spokesperson Kunal Ghosh. The organizational basis of the Bengal BJP, which largely rested on the shoulders of the turncoats from the Trinamool Congress, has been shaken to the core with a lot of them expressing a need to return to their outdated celebration and some even snapping all contacts with the saffron camp.
A few of the former TMC MLAs who joined the BJP have tendered their apologies to the Mamata Banerjee-led celebration. Based on sources, a lot of them have began skipping organizational conferences known as by state BJP president Dilip Ghosh. Rajib was among the many state BJP members who criticized the demand from some within the celebration for the imposition of the president’s rule in West Bengal.
After assembly Ghosh, Rajib mentioned, “I oppose the demand for imposing presidential rule in Bengal. As a result of the ruling celebration has come to energy with large help. On the identical time, I don’t help the celebration’s Hindutva rhetoric.’’
The crack within the saffron camp began widening quickly after the celebration’s poor present within the current Meeting elections. The BJP bagged 77 seats out of 292, far lower than the 200 predicted by the massive weapons within the celebration.
Quickly after the election, former TMC MLAs Dipendu Biswas and Sonali Guha resigned from the BJP and mentioned they needed to return to the TMC.
With Roy’s returning to the TMC, the ruling celebration is anticipating an exodus from the BJP When Roy was in Trinamool Bhavan on Friday, BJP’s state president Dilip Ghosh convened an organisation assembly in Bongaon, North 24 Parganas, which was skipped by three native MLAs and an area MP.
