Mithun Chakraborty claims 38 TMC MLAs in touch with BJP

Actor-turned-politician Mithun Chakraborty, who had joined the BJP ahead of the West Bengal assembly elections last year, on Wednesday claimed that 38 Trinamool Congress (TMC) MLAs are in touch with the saffron party and of these, 21 legislators are directly in touch with him.

“Do you want to hear breaking news? At this moment, 38 TMC MLAs are in touch with the BJP. Out of these, 21 are in direct touch with me. When I was in Mumbai, I read in newspapers one fine morning that the Shiv Sena and the BJP have formed the government in Maharashtra,” he said while addressing a presser in Kolkata. He added that the BJP is in power in 18 states, and its flag will “fly high in a few other states very soon”.

Reacting to this, the Mamata Banerjee-led TMC said Chakraborty is “trying to fool the people by making false claims”. TMC MP Santanu Sen such statements are an attempt to fool the masses as it has no relation with reality.

Chief Minister Banerjee during an event at the 25th anniversary of Titagarh Wagon factory programme said it is not easy for the BJP to break West Bengal as they will have to fight the “Royal Bengal Tiger first”.

“They (BJP) have no work, their job is to take over the state governments through three-four agencies. They have taken Maharashtra, now Jharkhand but West Bengal has defeated them. It’s not easy to break Bengal as you have to fight the Royal Bengal Tiger first,” she was quoted as saying by news agency ANI.

Moreover, the CM also exuded confidence that BJP still would lose the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. “I don’t know how, but I can say they will not come to power… The government at the Centre is more dangerous than the British Raj,” she said.

The TMC has 216 MLAs in the 294-member West Bengal assembly. The opposition BJP has 75 legislators. However, five saffron party MLAs have joined the ruling party without resigning as legislators.
