Former BJP leader Jay Prakash Majumdar joins TMC
Kolkata/IBNS: Former Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Jay Prakash Majumdar on Tuesday joined the Trinamool Congress (TMC), significantly a day after meeting rebel saffron party MP Locket Chatterjee.
Majumdar, who was earlier suspended by the BJP, was dismembered by the saffron party.
He joined the TMC in presence of party supremo and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee at Nazrul Mancha here.
Majumdar, who was critical of the BJP top brass, was a part of the rebel leaders who went on to meet Chatterjee, a Lok Sabha MP from Hooghly.
Chatterjee has also hit out at the BJP leadership for its foul crying after disastrous performance since the 2021 assembly elections.
Snubbing Majumdar's desertion, BJP state president Sukanta Majumdar told media, "The BJP is not run by MPs or MLAs but the office bearers."
