DANTAN: BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari, who recently jumped the ship from the TMC, said he is not a traitor as is being represented by his former party and hails from Medinipur, a land of patriots.
Maintaining that he had given oxygen to the TMC in its hour of need, Adhikari alleged that time and again, he had been given a raw deal by the ruling party s leadership after getting tough assignments done. The TMC which had been erased in the 2003 panchayat elections and was reduced to only one MP in 2004, could make a comeback in Paschim Medinipur district only in 2009, Adhikari, the backbone of the 2007 Nandigram movement said.
