Siliguri/Chopra: CPM’s Sankar Ghosh, who left the party two days ago, has joined BJP. Congress’ Ashok Roy, from Chopra in Uttar Dinajpur, too took the BJP flag from Bengal BJP minder Kailash Vijayvargiya on Friday.
While Ghosh, once a confidante of Ashok Bhattacharya, was upset over selection of candidates, Roy was aggrieved with Congress’ decision to give the Chopra seat to the CPM.
The CPM-turned-BJP leader trained his guns on party veterans who had refused to bring about a change within. “One candidate is winning from Siliguri (Ashok Bhattacharya) while the other candidate (Dilip Singh) is losing from Dabgram-Fulbari. There has been no change in candidate list. How can there be development without change? No one is allowed to raise his voice,” Ghosh said while dumping CPM.
