In West Bengal’s assembly elections, there are frequent political squabbles. Dinesh Trivedi, a former Union Minister and chief of West Bengal’s ruling Trinamool Congress, recently joined the BJP. JP Nadda, the BJP’s national president, was in attendance, as were Union ministers Piyush Goyal and Dharmendra Pradhan. Nadda said at the time, “I am overjoyed that we will be joining Dinesh Trivedi Ji in the BJP today. On behalf of all my colleagues and thousands of activists, I extend my warmest greetings and welcome.”

Ahead of West Bengal Assembly polls, Dinesh Trivedi, who had resigned as TMC MP in Rajya Sabha in February, joined Bharatiya Janata Party on Saturday in presence of party president JP Nadda in New Delhi. This is the golden moment for me, for which I have been waiting for a long time. Nadda ji and my friends knew I was waiting for this. I never left ideology. The nation was above everything for me. Every person believes that PM Narendra Modi and BJP will keep the nation secure, Trivedi said.
