As West Bengal is gearing up for assembly elections, each day passes with leaders from the Trinamool Congress quitting their party only to join Bhartiya Janata Party. Famous Bengali actress Srabanti Chatterjee joined the BJP yesterday in the august presence of BJP national general secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya and the party’s state president, Dilip Ghosh.
Earlier, in February, five former party workers of Trinamool Congress Rajib Banerjee, Baishali Dalmiya, Prabir Ghoshal, Rathin and Rudranil Ghosh, joined BJP on Saturday.
Former TMC leaders Mr. Rajib Banerjee, Ms. Baishali Dalmiya, Mr. Prabir Ghoshal, Mr. Rathin Chakraborti and Mr. Rudranil Ghosh joined BJP today in New Delhi. I am sure their induction will further strengthen BJP’s fight for Sonar Bangla. pic.twitter.com/twXrHXWCbY

This is to be noted that several senior TMC leaders have left the Mamata Banerjee-led party in the past few months including former West Bengal Minister Suvendu Adhikari.
Mamata Banerjee wants her 3rd term in a row, but BJP has agreed that the 294-member state assembly will gain 200 seats. Congress and the Left formed a coalition for elections, and the seat sharing arrangement was finalized already.
Elections to the West-Bengal Assembly shall take place in eight phases from 27 March and the final round of elections shall take place on 29 April. Voting will be counted on 2 May.
