While Malda zilla parishad member Sarala Murmu said she “realized” her “mistake”, former North Dinajpur MLA Amol Acharya cited the recent harassment of TMC veterans by CBI as the immediate reason for leaving BJP.
Murmu was named the TMC candidate from Habibpur in the assembly election. But she, along with zilla parishad sabhadipati Gour Mandal, joined BJP at the behest of Suvendu Adhikari. After TMC won 8 out of 12 seats in the district, Murmu re-established contact with her old party. “It was a mistake for me to join BJP. Now, when the CM has appealed to defectors to return, I want to come back,” she said on Sunday.
