Another Trinamool Turncoat Wants To Return To Party In Bengal From BJP

Dipendu Biswas, who had switched sides after his name did not feature in the TMC's candidate list for the polls, has expressed his desire to return to the state's ruling party.

With the Trinamool Congress (TMC) registering a thumping third consecutive poll victory in Bengal, turncoats who had quit the party before the elections to join the BJP now seem to be making a beeline to re-enter the Mamata Banerjee camp, the latest being Dipendu Biswas. Mr Biswas, who had switched sides after his name did not feature in the TMC's candidate list for the assembly polls, has expressed his desire to return to the state's ruling party. Claiming that it was a mistake on his part to have joined the BJP, he has apologised to TMC chief and Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. In a letter to the chief minister, the footballer-turned-politician on Monday said that he wanted to take the TMC flag again from the party's general secretary Subrata Baksi.
