Kolkata: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Suvendu Adhikari on Thursday said that no one can control BJP's vote bank, while reacting to Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Abhishek Banerjee's claim that BJP will collapse if TMC keeps its door open.
Referring to the leaders joining the rival party, Adhikari said, "Let them do it. TMC does not have any leaders, they are finding them in BJP. No individual can control the votes of sanatans, SC, STs, and OBCs. These votes are only influenced by PM Modi."
Abhishek Banerjee, while addressing a political rally in Murshidabad, has said that BJP leaders, mostly MLAs, have been queuing up before the TMC office, the doors of which are shut now. "We have kept the doors closed. If the doors are opened, the BJP will surely collapse," he had said.
Former Union Minister and ex-BJP MP Babul Supriyo formally joined TMC on September 18. Besides Babul Supriyo and Mukul Roy, three BJP MLAs have also joined TMC.
