Since the Bengal Assembly elections earlier this year in which the BJP had targeted 200 seats but got only 77, four MLAs have already returned to Trinamool.
Nearly seven months after joining the BJP, popular Bengali film actress Srabanti Chatterjee announced in a tweet today that she was "severing all ties" with the party. The actor cited the BJP's "lack of initiative and sincerity to further the cause of Bengal" as the reason behind the decision.

"Severing all ties with the BJP, the party for which I fought the last state elections. (The) reason being their lack of initiative and sincerity to further the cause of Bengal," she tweeted to her 1.4 million followers this morning.
Though the actor did not say if she will join Trinamool Congress, she left enough hint with her "let the time speak" comment to a query on whether she was planning to join the Mamata Banerjee-led party.
