Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee on Monday said that those who have quit her party to join the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) have done so because they wouldn’t have got tickets in the coming Assembly elections.

At a public meeting in Hooghly’s Purshura, Banerjee said that they joined the BJP in order to protect the wealth that they have accumulated over the past few years. “The Trinamool Congress will honour those who are honourable, and those who have left now won’t be taken back,” Banerjee said. She added with sarcasm, that those who wish to, should take the train quickly and avail the opportunity soon as “it will leave very soon”.
