Bengal: BJP's Alipurduar district president Ganga Prasad Sharma joins TMC

| @indiablooms | Jun 21, 2021, at 08:56 pm

Kolkata/IBNS: In continuing worry for the saffron unit, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)'s Alipurduar district president Ganga Prasad Sharma on Monday joined the Trinamool Congress (TMC) in West Bengal.

Along with Sharma, eight top BJP leaders from Alipurduar have joined the ruling party.

Sharma, who led the BJP to win all five seats of Alipurduar in the recently concluded Assembly Polls, has accused the BJP MPs of conspiring to divide West Bengal.

It was under Sharma's leadership only the BJP had won the Alipurduar seat by a margin of 2.5 lakh votes.

The defections will be key in the current scenario of the state politics as several BJP leaders are openly or secretly willing to crossover to the TMC, which has registered a landslide victory in the 2021 polls.

Also from the TMC's perspective, it would be its apparent boost as the party has performed horribly in the elections this summer.

TMC leader Mukul Roy, who left the BJP earlier this month, commented on the fresh crossovers, "This is just the forecast... This is the beginning of the end (of BJP)."
