Bengal Politics Kolkata/IBNS: Tollywood actress Srabanti Chatterjee, who had unsuccessfully contested the West Bengal Assembly Elections 2021 on a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) ticket, quit the saffron camp on Thursday.

"Severing all ties with the BJP, the party for which I fought the last state elections.Reason being their lack of initiative and sincerity to further the cause of Bengal...," she tweeted.
