West Bengal Assembly Election 2021: Mamata Banerjee Likely To Lose Yet Another Long-Time Party Veteran Next Week

"Before that, on the 21st of March, I will send my father to Amit Shah's rally as well," Suvendu Adhikari said at a public meeting.

The BJP's candidate from West Bengal's hot seat of Nandigram, Suvendu Adhikari, on Wednesday announced that his father Sisir Adhikari, who is a Trinamool MP, will be present at Prime Minister Narendra Modi's rally on 24th March at Kanthi in the Adhikari family's home district of East Midnapore. "Before that, on the 21st of March, I will send my father to Amit Shah's rally as well," Suvendu Adhikari said at a public meeting. Adhikari Senior has been associated with the Trinamool Congress since its inception. But ever since his son switched sides, he has been ambiguous about his support for Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. That ended today in an outburst in which he said he didn't know if he was in Trinamool or not.
