Kalyan Banerjee - On the Brink of a New Path. It seems that numerous prominent leaders from various parties, feeling the sting of rejection from their own ranks, are starting to gravitate towards the BJP in a bid to secure their political futures source says. Shashi Tharoor, once a hopeful contender for a leadership role within the Congress during the assembly elections, has found himself frustrated by the lack of support from the party's higher-ups. Recently, he has begun to publicly criticize the party's policies, culminating in a heated exchange on X with the Congress media head source says.
This altercation reflects his growing disillusionment with the party, as sources indicate that, despite nearly a year of waiting, the BJP has yet to extend an invitation to him, keeping him on the sidelines while he navigates the shifting political landscape. In a similar vein, Kalyan Banerjee, a dynamic and outspoken figure within the TMC, has found himself sidelined as he was replaced as party whip by Abhishek Banerjee.
This move hints at deeper divisions within the party and raises eyebrows regarding Kalyan's intentions, with speculation swirling that he may soon embark on a journey toward the BJP source says. Abhishek Banerjee and Kalyan are clearly at odds, with tensions simmering beneath the surface. While Kalyan has refrained from voicing criticism of the TMC in public settings, insiders suggest that it's only a matter of time before his true intentions come to light, marking a significant shift in the political landscape source says.
