Tollywood actress Srabanti Chatterjee quits BJP

| @indiablooms | 11 Nov 2021, 11:26 am

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.

Chatterjee cited the BJP's "lack of initiative and sincerity" towards West Bengal as her decision to leave the party, which had lost by a huge margin to the Trinamool Congress (TMC) in the state polls in the 2021 summer.

"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.

Chatterjee, who was once close to West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and her party TMC, joined the BJP in March this year.

She had contested against West Bengal Minister and TMC veteran, Partha Chatterjee, from Behala Paschim in the Mar-Apr elections.
