News Desk: Expelled Janata Dal (United) leader Pavan Varma and the Congress’ Kirti Azad joined the Trinamool Congress in Delhi this evening in the presence of Mamata Banerjee.
“Today I have joined the Trinamool. After leaving the JDU I had time for contemplation. Looking at today’s political landscape, we can see it is necessary to have a strong opposition. Mamata ji is building a meaningful party and that is why I joined. After the 2024 election Mamata Banerjee will be in Delhi to form the government” said Mr Varma.
Mr Azad said “The country needs a person who can fight on the ground… and give it a new direction. She has proved she can do this”
Former Congress leader Ashok Tanwar also joined TMC on Tuesday.
