Kolkata, May 29: The well-known bidi baron, Bayron Biswas, joined the Trinamool Congress (TMC) on Monday, which is now in power in West Bengal. He was the state’s lone MLA affiliated with the Congress party.
Abhishek Banerjee, the general secretary of the TMC, stated that Biswas joined the party after leaving the Congress because he believed that the TMC was the only one capable of taking on the BJP in the state.
“Bayron Biswas joined us as he felt TMC is the only force which can fight BJP in Bengal,” said Abhishek Banerjee.
Recently, Bayron Biswas defeated a TMC contender to win the Sagardighi seat by a significant majority.
Debashish Banerjee of the Trinamool was defeated by Biswas in the Sagardighi by-election, which Biswas won by a margin of more than 22,000 votes.
This is regarded as a significant step because Mamata Banerjee, the leader of the TMC, recently declared publicly that she was willing to support Congress in the forthcoming Lok Sabha elections.
Notably, Congress managed to win the Sagardighi Assembly seat in the byelection in March of this year despite receiving zero votes in the Bengal Assembly elections of 2021.
