NEW DELHI: Congress leader Kirti Azad, former JD(U) general secretary Pavan Varma and Haryana politician Ashok Tanwar joined Trinamool Congress on Tuesday, coinciding with party chief Mamata Banerjee initiating the process of launching a TMC unit in Haryana, reports Mohua Chatterjee.
TMC is “all set” to start its Haryana and Delhi chapters by December, said sources. Addressing Tanwar’s followers outside the Delhi residence of TMC MP Abhishek Banerjee, the TMC chief, said: “I respect your decision to join Trinamool to defeat BJP…Very happy to welcome Ashok Tanwarji and all those of you who have come here to join our party with him. Tanwarji will be going to Goa, to Kolkata and I will visit Haryana as soon as he calls me there.”
Tanwar, a Dalit leader from Haryana, quit Congress in 2019. He was a close aide of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi till he fell out with the leadership for going against the Bhupinder Hooda-led faction in the state and was thrown out of the party.
