It was learnt that a day after he resigned from the ministership in the cabinet in Bengal government, TMC leader Suvendu Adhikari has asked the MLAs and leaders supporting him to be ready to hit the streets. Meanwhile, the TMC leadership has made it known that the doors are still open for Adhikary to come back in dialogue.
Suvendu Adhikary, apart from quitting the cabinet, had also recently resigned from the HRBC and the Haldia Development Authority.
A close confidante of Adhikary revealed that the followers and the MLAs supporting him form a huge supporter base which can help him to build a separate organization. The supporters of Adhikary are ready in more than five districts, said his close associate. The support base of Suvendu Adhikary had for the last few months promoted the idea of a separate organization under the banner of “Amra Dadar Anugami”, meaning-We are followers of the elder brother. Adding to the discomfort of TMC, this separate supporter-base of Adhikary had made the rift in the TMC visible in various regions like East and West Medinipur, Howrah, Hooghly, Birbhum, Kolkata, Siliguri, and Jhargram.
The TMC leadership has placed MP Saugata Roy to communicate and bring back Adhikary into proper TMC-fold. It has been guessed by some observers that Adhikary might be pulled into BJP, with regular hints and indications coming from Bengal unit leaders of the saffron party.
The TMC had recently called up Adhikary’s father Sisir in order to influence him to get back.
