Five-time Congress MLA Mainul Haque on Saturday announced his decision to join the Trinamool Congress (TMC), citing lack of development in his constituency.
Haque, an MLA from Farakka in Murshidabad district, held a public meeting in his constituency to seek permission from his party leaders and workers to join the TMC. After getting an overwhelming nod through show of hands during the meeting, Haque announced that he would join the TMC on July 21, the day when Trinamool will observe its Annual Martyrs’ Day.
