Disgruntled Trinamool Congress MLA Mihir Goswami, who reached New Delhi with BJP MP Nisith Pramanik on Friday morning, joined the saffron party later in the day after resigning from the primary membership of the Bengal’s ruling party. He was welcomed in the BJP by party’s national general secretary and in-charge of Bengal Kailash Vijayvargiya.

Earlier in the day, Goswami told reporters in Delhi he has already sent his resignation to TMC supremo and Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. He said he was humiliated several times and despite informing the party leadership about it, nothing was done to address his woes.

“It seems the leadership has lost control over the party. It was not possible for me to continue with this humiliation. So I resigned from the primary membership of the party,” he added.

Earlier in the day, senior Trinamool Congress leader Suvendu Akhikari resigned as state transport minister.
