Another big party change can be seen in the country’s politics on Tuesday, which has intensified the stir in the opposition camps. Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has officially announced that a very tall and well-known leader of the opposition is going to become a part of the BJP family today. However, keeping the suspense intact, BJP has not yet openly disclosed the name of that big face. Meanwhile, speculations have become very intense in the political circles that any current or former MP of Odisha’s regional party Biju Janata Dal (BJD) or the ruling All India Trinamool Congress (TMC) in West Bengal may join the saffron party today.
A tweet by BJP’s chief spokesperson Anil Baluni raised the political temperature.
The rumors of this major upheaval turned into complete belief when BJP’s national chief spokesperson Anil Baluni wrote a suspenseful post on social media. Giving information, Anil Baluni wrote, ‘A very well-known face of the country is going to formally join the party today at 11 am on Tuesday at the BJP’s central headquarters in New Delhi.’ He did not reveal the name of any leader in this post, but as soon as this news came out, the phones of the leaders of the opposition parties started ringing.
Rajya Sabha MP Debashish Samantrai, who left BJD accusing him of insult, is in the lead in the race.
At present, in the race of faces to join BJP, the name of Biju Janata Dal (BJD) Rajya Sabha member from Odisha Debashish Samantrai is at the top. In fact, on Monday itself, Debashish Samantrai had resigned from the primary membership of BJD, making serious allegations of continuous humiliation in the party. Samantrai had clearly said in his letter to party chief Naveen Patnaik, ‘In recent times, I have felt that I am being continuously humiliated within the party and my political services are no longer needed by the organization. Therefore, keeping in mind the public interest, I have taken this very difficult and big decision.
Let us tell you that this resignation of Samantarai is not new to the politics of Odisha. A few months before this, two other BJD Rajya Sabha MPs Sujit Kumar and Mamta Mahanta had also left Naveen Patnaik, who later reached Rajya Sabha on BJP ticket. Samantrai has also been MLA twice in 2009 and 2014 and political analysts believe that his next stop today is going to be BJP.
Will Mamata Banerjee’s very close MP Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar leave TMC?
The second biggest and most shocking speculation regarding this joining of BJP is coming from West Bengal. Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar, a senior TMC MP and very close to Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, has been angry with her own party for some time. Recently, he surprised everyone by suddenly resigning from the post of Barasat District President. After this, while talking to a leading English newspaper, her son Vaidyanath Ghosh clarified that Kakoli Ghosh has also resigned from the post of Mahila Morcha of TMC and she may also leave the post of MP soon. His son gave a big statement and said that the many corruption scandals that took place during the Mamata Banerjee government have deeply damaged the clean image of his family, due to which he is hurt.
This message from TMC MP Kalyan Banerjee deepened the suspense.
Amidst this entire incident, a social media message from TMC MP and party’s Chief Whip in Lok Sabha Kalyan Banerjee has taken the suspense to its peak. It is noteworthy that after the Bengal elections, TMC had removed Kakoli Ghosh and given the responsibility of Chief Whip to Kalyan Banerjee.
Without naming Kakoli Ghosh, Kalyan Banerjee wrote in a very mysterious post, ‘May your further political journey be smooth, simple and comfortable. I wish you and your entire family all the best for your wonderful future ahead. Perhaps now finally all the political stains and controversies around you will be completely washed away and clearly erased. All the best, hope this new chapter succeeds where all your previous explanations have completely failed. This congratulatory message of Kalyan Banerjee is being considered as a strong indication that Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar is going to BJP’s side after giving a big blow to TMC.
