Three former Trinamool Congress Rajya Sabha MPs join the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in West Bengal, according to reports. The leaders are inducted into the party at BJP’s West Bengal headquarters in Salt Lake. NDTV says the induction takes place in the presence of the state BJP president, Samik Bhattacharya, who welcomes them to the party. The Times of India reports that the former Trinamool MPs also receive Rajya Sabha tickets as part of their move to BJP. The sources agree on the number of MPs involved, their affiliation with Trinamool prior to the switch, and that the change is formalized through BJP in-person induction at the party’s state office. The reports do not provide further details on the individuals’ names or their political roles beyond their former positions as Rajya Sabha MPs. The coverage focuses on the party switch and the immediate association with BJP’s Rajya Sabha electoral arrangements, as cited by Times of India.
