In yet another jolt to Mamata Banerjee-government, four more TMC leaders joined the BJP on Wednesday in Kolkata. Bidhannagar Mayor-in-Council Debasish Jana and three councillors from Asansol left the party ahead of the West Bengal assembly elections 2021. This comes after a 2-time TMC MLA and former Asansol Mayor Jitendra Tiwari took the BJP's membership in presence of Bengal BJP President Dilip Ghosh during a public meeting in Hooghly. Amidst the ongoing tussle among the saffron party and Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress in Bengal, many TMC leaders have break-ties and opted to join the Bhartiya Janata Party.
TMC witnesses mass exodus ahead of polls
In the last couple of months, top leaders including Suvendu Adhikari, Rabi-Ul-Islam, Silbhadra Datta, Kabir-Ul-Islam, Col Diptangshu Choudhury, Dinesh Tiwari, Abhijit Acharya, Silbhadra Datta, Aparesh Santra, Banashri Maity and others took an exit from Mamata Banerjee's party. TMC-turned-BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari, who was one of the first to incite a rebel within the party, had earlier proclaimed that 'no one will be left in TMC' by end of February.
