Three TMC MLAs who had switched over to the BJP after the Lok Sabha polls this year are in touch with the Mamata Banerjee-led party and have expressed their wish to return to the party fold, TMC sources said.
However, Trinamool Congress leadership claimed that none of the turncoats would be taken back to the party as “traitors” cannot be trusted.
According to the TMC sources, within months of joining the saffron party, three TMC MLAs of North 24 Parganas have been trying to get in touch with the party top brass and have expressed their desire to return to the parent party.
“Three MLAs from the district who had switched over have been sending feelers to party leaders. The party high command will take a call,” a senior leader of TMC’s North 24 Parganas said on condition of anonymity. Senior minister and president of North 24 Parganas TMC unit, Jyotipriyo Mullick said the party would never take them back.
