BJP MPs in touch with us, says TMC's Kunal Ghosh, BJP rubbishes claim
India Today
TMC spokesperson Kunal Ghosh said several BJP MPs are in touch with TMC. BJP leader Shishir Bajoria has brushed aside Ghosh's claim.
Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader Kunal Ghosh on Friday created a stir by directly stating that multiple BJP MPs are in touch with TMC.
He also took a dig at the cancellation of meetings Prime Minister Narendra Modi was supposed to have with BJP MPs from Bengal. The meeting was rescheduled twice.
Kunal Ghosh said, "The prime minister does not meet BJP MPs because he is unsure about which BJP MP will remain in the party and which one will leave. Hence, he is delaying the meet. A lot of BJP MPs are in touch with us, we have told them to tell us what all happens in their meetings."

Senior BJP leader, Shishir Bajoria lashed out at Ghosh for the claims he made. Bajoria said, "Kunal calls them 'gaddars' and then he meets them? It speaks volumes about TMC."
"It is ridiculous to say that PM is avoiding BJP MPs. The PM is meeting Nepal's PM, the Security Advisor of US and Russian foreign minister. The meeting with BJP MPs is delayed, not cancelled," he added.
