BJP's Suvendu Adhikari Trying To Come Back To Trinamool, Claims Party Leader

Trinamool Congress will not take him (Suvendu Adhikari) back because of his "abusive comments" against state Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and TMC national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee after joining the BJP, Kunal Ghosh said.

Trinamool Congress spokesperson Kunal Ghosh on Wednesday claimed that Leader of the Opposition in West Bengal assembly, Suvendu Adhikari of the BJP, is keen to return to the TMC, finding himself suffocated in the saffron party.

However, the TMC will not take him back because of his "abusive comments" against state Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and TMC national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee after joining the BJP, Mr Ghosh told reporters.

In response, Mr Adhikari who had quit the TMC and joined the BJP in December 2020 ahead of the assembly election said he does not reply to remarks of persons who were accused in graft cases.

Describing Sabyasachi Dutta, a TMC candidate in the Bidhannagar Municipal Corporation election, as a 'chameleon', Adhikari recently said it was a mistake on the part of the BJP to give him ticket for the assembly polls.
