None from TMC keeps relation with me says Suvendu Adhikari's father

    Kolkata, Mar 3 (PTI) Senior Trinamool Congress MP
Sisir Adhikari, whose sons Suvendu and Soumendu have joined
the BJP, on Wednesday said that no one from his party
maintains any relation with him, while the ruling party in
West Bengal climed that it is evident where his soul is.
    The Adhikari family patriarch claimed that the TMC has
also issued veiled threats that anyone from the party keeping
relations with him or his sons will be thrown out.
    "No one from the party contacts me," he said.
    Reacting to Adhikari's comments, TMC secretary general
Partha Chatterjee said, "Sisir-da is a veteran person.
Everybody understands where his soul is and where he
physically is. Let him first decide on that."
    Without naming any party, Chatterjee also said that it
is now clear which direction Adhikari is headed to.
    Adhikari alleged that functionaries of the TMC have
made deplorable comments on him publicly, which even leaders
of the Congress or the CPI(M) have never indulged in.
    While Suvendu and Soumendu have joined the BJP,
another son Dibyendu, who is also a TMC Lok Sabha MP, and
Sisir Adhikari have not been attending any meeting or
programme of the Mamata Banerjee-led party for several months.
    Adhikari, who has been a TMC MP from Kanthi since
2009, has been in politics for several decades. PTI AMR
