Mamata Banerjee Urged Trinamool Defector To Return In Leaked Call: BJP

In the alleged telephonic conversation, Proloy Pal is heard refusing Mamata Banerjee's request to return to the Trinamool.

The BJP in West Bengal today claimed that Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee was now so desperate to avoid defeat that she called up a former Trinamool colleague, now with the BJP, for help. Senior BJP leaders Kailash Vijayvargiya and Shishir Bajoria played an audio clip to the media in which the ruling party chief is heard talking to Proloy Pal, who recently followed her former aide Suvendu Adhikari into the BJP. NDTV cannot independently verify the authenticity of the tape. In the alleged telephonic conversation, Mr Pal is heard refusing Ms Banerjee's request to return to the Trinamool, citing his inability to betray the Adhikari family which took care of him when he was tortured by the CPM.
