BJP gains as three former TMC Rajya Sabha members switch sides
The Mamata Banerjee-led TMC faced a fresh blow on Thursday as former Rajya Sabha MPs Sushmita Dev, Sukhendu Sekhar Ray, and Prakash Chik Baraik officially joined the BJP. The trio had stepped down from their Rajya Sabha seats and departed from the TMC last month, following the party's loss in the Assembly elections. This development follows a series of defections by TMC MLAs, who previously left the party under the guidance of expelled MLA Ritabrata Banerjee.
