In another major setback to the ruling Trinamool Congress just months ahead of the West Bengal Assembly elections, another legislator of the party joined the BJP Wednesday.

According to reports, Arindam Bhattacharya from Nadia’s Santipur constituency joined the BJP in the presence of party general secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya at an event held at party headquarters in Delhi.

"I was elected on Congress symbol but extended support to TMC so that development happens but it didn't," said Bhattacharya after joining the BJP.

Details awaited
