Kolkata: BJP MLA from West Bengal, Biswajit Das, has left the saffron party and joined the Trinamool Congress (TMC) on Tuesday and he is the third legislator to do so from May this year.
Das joined BJP in 2019 and won from Bagda constituency in the 2021 assembly polls.
He is also a former two-time MLA from TMC.
