Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be addressing an election rally in West Bengal's Contai today.
Will Trinamool Congress lose another of its MP to BJP just days ahead of the much awaited West Bengal Assembly Election 2021? This anticipation must be doing rounds in the political circle of Bengal and here's the reason why?
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be addressing an election rally in West Bengal's Contai today. This rally will be attended by none other than TMC MP and father of TMC turncoat and now a BJP leader, Suvendu Adhikari.
BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari said his father and TMC MP Sisir Adhikari will attend Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s rally at Contai on March 24.
A few days ago Sisir Adhikari, the octogenarian TMC Lok Sabha member from Contai in East Midnapore, was invited to Home Minister Amit Shah's rally at Egra.
Sisir Adhikari is likely to join the BJP. His eldest son, Dibyendu, is the TMC Lok Sabha member from Tamluk. He, too, has been invited to join the BJP.
Meanwhile, asked about defecting to the saffron camp, the TMC MP Sisir Adhikari said that if Suvendu says he will join and will also campaign for his son in Nandigram.
"I don’t have any stand in TMC. For the last few months, leaders of the ruling Trinamool Congress have been bad-mouthing my forefathers. People of Midnapore know that the Adhikari family has worked for them and now the TMC is calling us thieves," mentioned Sisir without naming TMC MP Abhishek Banerjee.
On the other hand, while addressing a rally at Haldia in East Midnapore on Saturday, the chief minister targeted the Adhikari family, calling the members 'traitors'.
"I fed some traitors for years. Those who joined the BJP have done so to escape jail sentence. I am relieved that they left. They always controlled my movement and I had to seek their permission before coming here," Banerjee said.
West Bengal goes to the polls in eight phases from March 27 to April 29. The counting of votes will take place on May 2.
