The joining of ex-BJP MP John Barla in Trinamool Congress (TMC) has sparked a backlash in the BJP leadership and a new wave of allegations on the TMC.

Recently, BJP's former MP from Alipurduar, John Barla, joined TMC, triggering a backlash from his former party. Barla accused the BJP of stopping development work in the state, including the construction of a hospital in North Bengal.

This comes as a blow to the BJP as they recently overhauled the TMC in the Bengal Assembly elections. According to sources close to Barla, he felt neglected by the BJP leadership and felt that the TMC was more accommodating to his aspirations.

The switch has also sparked a new wave of allegations from the BJP camp, who claim the TMC is offering incentives and promises of ministerial berths to MPs and MLAs to join the party.

As the political turmoil unfolds in West Bengal, the public awaits the outcome of these accusations and revelations.
