AGARATALA, Feb 25 (TIWN): Vast number of BJP members including pristha-pramukhas of BJP from 51 booths have joined Congress in the presence of former Congress MLA Gopal Roy.

The joining programme of Congress was held at Chief Minister Biplab Deb’s own constituency 9-No Banamalipur.

Leaving BJP, the new Congress leaders said, even though CPI-M Govt was successfully defeated by BJP, but the BJP Govt has failed to work for public-welfare.

Out of the joiners 272 were pristha-pramukhas, a major setback in Banamalipur constituency.

Former MLA Gopal Roy also accepted that due to Congress’s weakness, the supporters joined BJP, but now once again all have been united against BJP’s JUMLA-raj.
