TMC in Malda Dakshin will get 3.50 lakh votes, win: Abhishek
Trinamul Congress national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee urged people of Malda to vote against BJP to establish their rights and defeat the BJP.
Dipak Haldar, Trinamool Congress legislator from Diamond Harbour in West Bengal’s South 24-Parganas district, resigned from the state’s ruling party on Monday.
Haldar resigned just a day ahead of Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP’s) newly inducted leader Suvendu Adhikari’s mega rally in the district.
He tendered his resignation to the Trinamool Congress’ state headquarters at Topsia by speed post.

According to the sources, speculation is rife that he might join the BJP at a rally that is scheduled to be held at Baruipur on Tuesday
Haldar was known to be a close associate of rebel TMC leader and former Kolkata mayor Sovan Chattopadhyay who also defected to BJP in Bengal. The two-time Trinamool lawmaker is from Mamata Banerjee’s nephew Abhishek Banerjee’s Diamond Harbour Lok Sabha constituency.
His resignation from the party is seen to be a significant move ahead of the forthcoming state Assembly polls as the BJP is trying to make a dent into Abhishek’s vote bank.
