Suvendu’s brother Dibyendu Adhikari gets invitation to join BJP
Suvendu Adhikari’s brother and TMC MP Dibyendu Adhikari on Thursday (March 19) said that he has received an invitation to join his brother’s party ahead of West Bengal Assembly polls. Dibyendu has personally accepted the invitation.
Dibyendu claimed, “No decision has been taken yet to join the BJP. However, the top leaders of the BJP have invited me to join the party.”
“It's difficult to explain that I'm with TMC. I've not been allowed to party programs for 4-5 months. Technically, I am in TMC but my elder brother Suvendu has joined BJP. Mamata Banerjee has decided to contest from Nandigram out of emotion. I believe people will choose the right candidate. Everyone in Nandigram has faith in Suvendu.”
At the same time, Dibyendu Adhikari expressed his anger against the party and said, “The district president of the Trinamool Congress says that I am being called to every meeting of the party. This claim is false.”
Sisir Adhikari, the TMC leader and father of Suvendu Adhikari has said that he will join the BJP if he is asked.
Elections to the 294-member assembly will be held in eight phases starting March 27. The results will be declared on May 2.
