With this, the number of BJP MLAs in Bengal has come down to 73
Tanmoy Ghosh, BJP MLA from Bishnupur in Bankura, West Bengal, rejoined the Trinamool Congress (TMC) on Monday. He won the recent polls with a margin of about 11,420 votes. He joined the BJP from the TMC in March last. With this, the number of BJP MLAs has come down to 73. Seventy-seven of the party won in the polls. Party MPs Jaganath Sarkar and Nisith Pramanik, who contested and won the elections, did not take oath as MLAs. Mr. Ghosh, who joined the Trinamool Congress in the presence of senior leader and Education Minister Bratya Basu, said the BJP was trying to snatch away the rights of Bengalis and malign the culture of the State. His decision to join the TMC was also in protest against the use of Central agencies as a tool of “political vendetta”.
