Three Former TMC Rajya Sabha MPs Join BJP in West Bengal

In a significant political development in West Bengal, former Trinamool Congress (TMC) Rajya Sabha MPs Sushmita Dev, Prakash Chik Baraik and Sukhendu Sekhar Roy joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Wednesday.

The three leaders were welcomed into the party in the presence of West Bengal BJP President Samik Bhattacharya, marking another high-profile addition to the BJP's state unit.

Their induction is being viewed as a notable political setback for the TMC and is expected to strengthen the BJP's organisational presence in West Bengal. The development comes amid continued political realignments in the state following recent electoral and organisational changes.

BJP leaders expressed confidence that the experience and political stature of the three former Rajya Sabha MPs would further reinforce the party's outreach across West Bengal.

More details regarding the leaders' future roles within the BJP are expected to emerge in the coming days.
