Rebel Trinamool Congress MLA Suvendu Adhikari, who resigned from the West Bengal cabinet last month, is set to join the BJP ahead of Home Minister Amit Shah’s visit to the state on December 19-20. Reports said Adhikari is planning to visit New Delhi on Thursday for talks with the BJP leadership.

Adhikari was seen addressing rallies with his supporters without using Trinamool symbols and flags from the last few months. Adhikari was the key man behind Banerjee’s movement in Nandigram in East Midnapore in 2007 which helped her oust the 34-year Left Front rule in Bengal.

There were reports that he was headed to the Congress a few days ago. But Adhikari is learnt to have said that while he belongs to a Congress family and was part of Youth Congress, his political purpose would not be served by joining the Congress. He said the party was weak in West Bengal while his ambition was to have a say in state politics, which could not happen by being in the Congress.

On December 2, he is said to have expressed disappointment through a WhatsApp message to party MP Saugata Roy over details of the meeting being leaked to the media claiming that all issues have been resolved. Adhikari, in his message, mentioned that he was supposed to address the media on December 6 but he didn’t like the way the details of the meeting were shared to journalists before his scheduled press conference.

BJP sources admitted that Adhikari’s joining it would be a big gain in West Bengal. Unlike many others, Adhikari has a clean image and is considered a mass leader. His exit from the Trinamool Congress has already hit the party badly.

2024 Lok Sabha Elections

BJP to contest all 13 Punjab Lok Sabha seats for first time since 1996, says state BJP chief Sunil Jakhar

Jakhar said that the Lok Sabha election was the most appropriate time for the BJP to contest independently, as the state is looking for an option

Punjab BJP state President Sunil Jakhar recently said that his party will contest all 13 Lok Sabha sears in the state independently. The BJP has not allied with the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) since 1996.

Sunil Jakhar in an interview with a news publication, said that this decision signifies a new chapter in the party’s strategy in Punjab. The BJP had allied with the SAD in Punjab for over two decades, and is considered to be a major coalition in the state’s political landscape.

The BJP state chief noted that the decision to contest independently was taken on the account of the feedback from the public and party members, reflecting a growing sentiment within the BJP to establish a stronger, independent presence in Punjab.

Jakhar continued that the Lok Sabha election was the most appropriate time for the BJP to contest independently, as the state is looking for an option. He asserted that Punjab tried out-of-the-box experiment in form of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), but are dissappointed with them.

He further highlighted the BJP’s work under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, particularly in securing minimum support prices for farmers, as key accomplishments that the party will present to the electorate. This development follows as the BJP aims to consolidate its position and expand its influence in Punjab.

Notably, the SAD was one of the oldest allies of the BJP. Nonetheless, the SAD severed ties with the NDA in September 2020 over the now repealed farm laws that saw widespread protests in northern India.

Speaking about coalition with SAD, the BJP state chief said that the alliance was not political but a social one. He added that the party is facing a battle of survival, and that its leader Sukhbir Singh Badal has sins to wash of, including the drug problem and sacrilege cases.

Election in Punjab’s 13 Lok Sabha seats is scheduled for June 1, 2024. This development is expected to significantly alter the dynamics of the electoral battle in Punjab, traditionally dominated by the SAD-BJP coalition and the Congress party.
