Vaishali Dalmia's Political Career: A Shift from TMC to BJP and Now Seeking to Avoid Re-Election

In 2016, Vaishali Dalmia, daughter of eminent cricket administrator Jagmohan Dalmia, contested elections on a TMC ticket. She won and became an MLA from Bally, Howrah. She was in the TMC for five years. But before the 2021 assembly elections, when she flew to Delhi on a chartered flight to join the BJP, Vaishali was on the list. She lost the election to Barbije Pitta. I said, please don't field me in 2026. Actually, I am busy with a big project. I am doing a school in my father's name. Now I am very busy with that.
