Amit Shah pays tribute to the police personnel who lost their lives in the line of duty
Amit Shah is in West Bengal and Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee is facing a hard time as a major chunk of her party members from across the state are switching sides. Days after resigning as a party member of the Trinamool Congress (TMC), Suvendu Adhikari, the former West Bengal state transport minister joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Saturday in the presence of Union Home Minister Amit Shah at a rally in Midnapore.
Other than Adhikari, eight MLAs, an MP and a former MP also joined the BJP today at the rally. The MLAs are Tapasi Mondal (Haldiya Purba, MLA, CPI-M), Ashoke Dinda (Tamluk, MLA, CPI), Sudip Mukherjee (Purulia, Congress), Saikat Panja (Burdwan Purba, TMC), Shilbhadra Dutta (Barrackpore, TMC), Dipali Biswas (Gajol, Maldah, TMC), Sukra Munda (Nagarkata, Jalpaiguri, TMC) and Banasri Maity (Contai North, MLA, TMC).
