BJP Gains Veteran Defector Vishwanath Pariyal as TMC Loses Another Leader to BJP

This time, in Durgapur: TMC, once again CPM and Congress in alliance. Vishwanath Pariyal, a veteran of defections, joins BJP! On Saturday evening, in Taltala Basti near Benachiti, Vishwanath took the party flag from the hands of former BJP MP Surinder Singh Ahluwalia and former BJP state president Sukanta Majumdar. But before the first phase of the assembly elections, Vishwanath's arrival angered BJP's grassroots workers. At the moment, no one is talking about it publicly, but many people think that he can have a negative impact on the vote. Although another round of change of Vishwanath's camp is not working. TMC candidate from Pandabeswar and Paschim Bardhaman district TMC president Narendranath Chakraborty said, "The party's relationship with Vishwanath has been broken long ago. See, in the coming days!" Vishwanath, once known as a strong leader of the TMC, also won the Durgapur municipal elections. Vishwanath joined the Left-Congress alliance in the 2016 assembly elections. He did not lose a few months later.
