Meanwhile, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) General Secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya has said that if TMC MLA Suvendu Adhikari comes to the BJP, he will be welcomed into the party.
Previously, on various occasions, such as in Nandigram and Midnapore, Suvendu Adhikari was seen holding public meetings without the party’s symbol, flag or banner. Even Suvendu Adhikari posters had also appeared in some districts of the state.
