She (CM) forgot her ideals while playing.” Following his inclusion within the BJP, JP Nadda stated that Dinesh Trivedi was a ‘right man in the wrong party.’
Former Railway Minister Trivedi is the newest entrant to the BJP from the ruling Trinamool Congress. The Election Commission of India on Friday introduced an eight-phased Assembly ballot for West Bengal starting March 27. The counting of votes will happen on May 2.

He stated, “Grateful to my party that they’ve sent me here. I’m feeling suffocated that we’re not able to do anything over violence in the state. My soul tells me that if you can’t do anything sitting here, then you must resign. I will continue to work for people of WB.” In his resignation speech within the Rajya Sabha, Trivedi hailed PM Narendra Modi’s management in coping with the Covid pandemic. He stated that it was underneath the PM’s management that 130 crore Indians might bravely battle the COVID-19 pandemic.
