Bengal: Lone Congress MLA Bayron Biswas joins TMC
Kolkata/IBNS: Lone Congress MLA in West Bengal, Bayron Biswas who had created ripples in the state politics defeating the mighty Trinamool Congress in Sagardighi earlier this year, joined the ruling party on Monday.
Biswas, who had won in a bypoll with the support from the Left, joined the TMC during its national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee's mass outreach campaign Trinamoole Nabojowar Yatra.
The TMC has put up a tweet which reads, "Today, during the ongoing #JonoSanjogYatra in the presence of Shri @abhishekaitc, INC MLA from Sagardighi Bayron Biswas joined us. We wholeheartedly welcome him to the Trinamool Congress family!
"To strengthen your resolve to fight against the divisive and discriminatory politics of BJP, you have chosen the right platform. Together, we will win!"
After Biswas deserted Congress, the grand old party has apparently lost its representation once again in the state assembly, which is heavily dominated by the TMC and prime opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
Apart from TMC and BJP, Indian Secular Front (ISF) has a lone MLA in the assembly.
