Arjun Singh as also said, “After I became the MP from BJP, the way post-poll political violence happened in West Bengal, our area was the worst hit. I was tolerating atrocities on myself, but to save the workers, I had to keep some distance from the party (BJP) for some days.”

With him , Dibyendu Adhikari has also left TMC and joined the Saffron party. He said, “People had a lot of expectations with Bengal CM as she too is a woman. In Bengal, women don’t have the respect that they should have. There is no rule of law there. Our job would be to work as a BJP worker and work on the ground to take the party forward and get 400 plus seats for PM Modi.” Dibyendu Adhikari is the brother of senior BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari, who also joined the BJP in 2021.
