News Desk: After Bishnupur MLA Tanmoy Ghosh, another BJP MLA from Bagda, Biswajit Das, joined the TMC on Tuesday. He admitted that he made a mistake by joining BJP.
He said “I was unhappy and uncomfortable working the BJP. I made a mistake and wanted to come back”
Currently the number of BJP MLAs in the Assembly now stands at 72, down from 77. As per sources, more MLAs are in line to leave the saffron party.
Why Das left BJP?
Das, a two-time MLA from the TMC, had switched over to the BJP earlier. He was an MLA from Bongaon (North). He followed Mukul Roy when he joined the BJP, but differences cropped up between him and the Shantanu Thakur lobby. Moreover, he also wanted to contest from the Bongaon (North) seat but was asked to contest from Bagda.
He had been unhappy from then on, but Roy and Arjun Singh stopped him from switching back to the TMC before the Assembly election. After the results, however, when Roy returned to the TMC, he too wanted to go back.
