Eight TMC defectors, ‘forced to join BJP’, return where their ‘heart belongs’

Senior Trinamool Congress leader Firhad Hakim announced in a press conference on July 9 that eight of the 16 TMC councillors who had defected to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) joined TMC ranks once again.
Hakim claimed that BJP leaders had warned the councillors from Halisahar municipality with dire consequences if they did not defect.
Commenting on the issue, the West Bengal Municipal Affairs Minister said: “The Bharatiya Janata Party has adopted a policy of scaring TMC councillors to make sure they join the saffron party.”
