Asansol (West Bengal): A day after resigning as Asansol civic body chief and Trinamool Congress (TMC) district president, rebel party leader Jitendra Tiwari on Friday rejected rumours of joining the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
Slamming the ruling party for removing his security, Tiwari said that the government took the step as it did not realise his worth. When the state govt thought my life was precious, it gave me security. Now as the govt feels my life has no worth, my security has been removed. I am going to Kolkata to meet my daughter. I am in no way going to join the BJP, he said while on his way to Kolkata from Asansol.
Barrackpore MLA Silbhadra Dutta severed ties with the party on Friday morning.
Former minister Shyamaprasad Mukherjee, too, has announced that he would leave the TMC and join the BJP.
Banerjee Friday night termed the deserters as baggage for the party and said it is good that rotten elements are leaving on their own.
Banerjee held an internal meeting with a select group of leaders at her residence to take stock of the situation.
According to party sources, Banerjee told TMC leaders not to be worried about the desertions as the people of the state are with them. Our party supremo during the meeting told us not to be worried about the desertions as it is good that the rotten elements are leaving the party on their own. She said deserters were baggage for the party, a senior TMC leader said on condition of anonymity after the closed-door meet.
