Tripura Politics Tripura BJP MLA Ashis Das, who praised Mamata, to join TMC today
Kolkata/IBNS: In what would be a jolt to the saffron brigade, Tripura Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA Ashis Das is set to join the Trinamool Congress (TMC), which has reactivated its organisation in the northeastern state.
Das, an MLA from Surma, is presently in Kolkata.
Just a day ago, the BJP man had praised his party's arch-rival and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, calling her "a very popular political face in India".
In the same line, Das lashed out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his own party for "selling" government properties to private entities.
The BJP is running governments in "autocratic style", he said.
The next assembly elections in Tripura is due to be held in 2023.
