Blow for Bengal BJP as Lok Sabha MP Arjun Singh returns to TMC after 38 months

Hindustan Times  

Kolkata: The Bharatiya Janata Party suffered a blow in Bengal on Sunday when Arjun Singh, its Lok Sabha member from Barrackpore in North 24 Parganas district and a state vice-president, returned to the Trinamool Congress after 38 months. BJP Lok Sabha MP Arjun Singh joins TMC in the presence of party's general secretary Abhishek Banerjee, in Kolkata on Sunday. TMC national general secretary and chief minister Mamata Banerjee’s nephew Abhishek Banerjee welcomed Singh into the TMC fold at his office on Camac Street in south Kolkata. “How could Singh win the Barrackpore seat and 17 other BJP candidates win the 2019 Lok Sabha polls if our party exists only on social media?” Ghosh quipped in the evening. Mallick, who was inducted into the TMC’s new national working committee in February, said, “If our party’s top leadership wants Arjun Singh to join, we will accept it.” In May 2021, the Criminal Investigation Department of the West Bengal police served summons to Singh in connection with an alleged economic offence.
