The Pandabeswar MLA had resigned as the chief of the Asansol Municipal Corporation on Thursday and quit the party hours later to follow rebel leader Suvendu Adhikari into the BJP.
On Friday, however, Tiwari met senior Trinamool leader Arup Biswas and poll strategist Prashant Kishor at south Kolkata s Suruchi Sangha club. It was my mistake. There were some misunderstandings. Whatever I said it was absolutely wrong on my part. I am told that Didi was hurt at my gesture. I cannot do anything that hurts Didi, Tiwari told media after the meeting.
