Suvendu Adhikari feels suffocated in BJP, claims TMC leader
India Today
Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader Sabyasachi Dutta said on Thursday that Suvendu Adhikari is feeling suffocated in the BJP.
Trinamool Congress leader Sabyasachi Dutta on Thursday said that Leader of the Opposition (LoP) in the West Bengal Assembly Suvendu Adhikari is feeling suffocated in the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and wants to rejoin the TMC.
Dutta told India Today, "Since BJP national vice president Dilip Ghosh and Suvendu Adhikari both want to take control of the party, Suvendu feels suffocated in the BJP."
"Mamata Banerjee, Abhishek Banerjee, and Partha Chatterjee will now decide whether or not to accept him," he added.
Dutta quit the TMC in 2019, unsuccessfully contested as a BJP candidate in the 2021 assembly polls and returned to his former party later.
Trinamool Congress spokesperson Kunal Ghosh on Wednesday said, "Suvendu is suffering from tremendous mental depression as his dreams of joining the BJP have been crushed. We have information that he wants to come back to the TMC along with two-three other leaders he had taken along."
"But our doors are not open for people like Suvendu," he added.
Ghosh also claimed that Adhikari had left the TMC to avoid raids by central investing agencies as his name had surfaced in ponzi scams.
