Kolkata, June 14

At least 50 BJP workers in Bengal’s Birbhum district, who had crossed over from the TMC ahead of the April-May Assembly polls, were on Monday re-inducted into the Mamata Banerjee camp after they staged a sit-in, demanding that they be taken back.

The disgruntled BJP workers held a dharna outside the TMC office, with posters in hand that claimed they regretted switching camps in the run-up to the elections.

A district BJP leader said these party workers had no other option but to rejoin the TMC as ruling party members had been “perpetrating atrocities on them” since the Assembly results last month. — PTI
