The exodus crisis continues in TMC as 5 ex-Trinamool leaders joined the BJP in the presence of Home Minister Amit Shah at his residence on Saturday. The 5 leaders – Rajib Banerjee, Baishali Dalmiya, Prabir Ghoshal, Rathin Chakraborti, and Rudranil Ghosh who recently left Trinamool, met Shah in Delhi accompanied by BJP leaders Kailash Vijayawargiya and Dilip Ghosh after Shah postponed his 2-day visit to West Bengal. The Home Minister was scheduled to visit Kolkata on Saturday but had postponed it due to the minor blast which occurred outside Israel Embassy in Delhi.
“Speaking to the media after joining BJP, Rajib Banerjee said, “We will make a new Bengal under the leadership of PM Modi.” Meanwhile, Dalmiya added, “BJP will win, the public is not with TMC. TMC failed to serve the people, the public is irritated. I am happy I have got this platform by BJP.”
Regarding the TMC leaders joining BJP, Union Home Minister Amit Shah tweeted, “Former TMC leaders Mr. Rajib Banerjee, Ms. Baishali Dalmiya, Mr. Prabir Ghoshal, Mr. Rathin Chakraborti and Mr. Rudranil Ghosh joined BJP today in New Delhi. I am sure their induction will further strengthen BJP’s fight for Sonar Bangla.”
