New drama in the West Bengal voting market. Sujata, wife of BJP Youth Morcha state president and MP Soumitra Khan, joined Trinamool. Soumitra said he sent a notice of divorce to his wife.
Soumitra-Sujata’s history is long. Soumitra was a member of the Trinamool Congress. He joined the BJP before the Lok Sabha elections. Along with Soumitra, Sujata also joined the party as a member of BJP. After Soumitra joined the BJP, the state police filed multiple cases against him. Soumitra claims that there are 36 cases in his name. In fact, Soumitra was unable to campaign despite winning a ticket in the Lok Sabha elections. Because there was an arrest warrant in his name. He was not allowed to enter his constituency of Lok Sabha. Soumitra was practically hiding in the home of the BJP leader, Mukul Roy. At the time, Sujata was campaigning for Soumitra. In various meetings, the wife made various complaints on behalf of Trinamool and asked for votes for her husband. Sujata’s campaign in the 2019 election period was well received. In fact, after Soumitra’s victory, Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself congratulated Sujata separately. Soumitra-Sujata’s ‘love’ became a topic of discussion not only in West Bengal but throughout the country.
Things started to change quickly after Soumitra became a deputy. Soumitra’s close associates in Delhi have been saying for months that the MP’s relationship with Sujata is deteriorating. Some sectors claimed that Sujata was having an affair with another woman. Soumitra, however, has always denied the accusations. At a press conference on Monday, Soumitra also said more than once that he has no relationship with other women.

The birth of the BJP
The Bharatiya Janata Party was born after 1980 as there was no provision for dual membership between the party and the RSS. Although new members joined the new party, the old ones held important positions. Vajpayee became the founding president Basically, this change of leadership is due to the bad vote after the assassination of Indira Gandhi. However, the rise of the BJP began in 1984. LK Advani became the president of the party that year. The BJP continued to strengthen under his leadership around the demand for Ram’s birthplace.

According to a section of the Bengal BJP, Sujata wanted one more thing. Important positions in the state team. She was also in the running to become president of the party’s women’s front. But in the end he did not get any position. At a press conference held by Sujata on Monday, he did not bring up the issue. He said he did not get the respect he deserved in the BJP. That’s why he leaves the team.
As the voting progresses, so does the game of party change. Recently, Trinamool leader and top minister Shuvendu Adhikari joined the BJP. He was joined by several other MLAs and Trinamool leaders, large and small. The idea from political circles is that there is the possibility that several more leaders will leave the bases to the BJP. In that sense, joining the Sujata grassroots is nothing new. But the Soumitra-Sujata relationship has given another dimension to the whole affair. Shortly after Sujata announced the party change at Trinamool Bhaban, Soumitra held a press conference at the BJP office. With tears in his eyes, he said that he would send a notice of divorce to his wife. However, it was not until Tuesday morning that it became known that he had sent a notification. Sujata also said with tears in her eyes, divorce is changing parties. Is the relationship so fragile? Previously, West Bengal had seen the Shovon-Baishakhi drama. His wife has had a public argument with the former mayor. But the general public in West Bengal has never seen such a divorce story on the television screen. As a result, the separation of Soumitra and Sujata has become a great success. And the kinds of things that both of them have said in front of the television camera, made them cry, the Tollywood series has also been left behind.
According to a section of political circles, the problem between Soumitra and Sujata has been going on for a long time. This happened because of him. However, according to another party, this dispute may be temporary. Many in the state leadership of the BJP don’t like this ‘drama’ in the voting market. Some people are also trying to cover up the problem. However, Trinamool is trying to maintain a personal attack on Soumitra. And they want to use Sujata there. Although the BJP claims, the drama will not last long in the match change season.
