Senior West Bengal Congress leader Omprakash Mishra joined the Trinamool Congress (TMC), Wednesday and claimed that it is the only party that can fight the BJP in the state.

Omprakash Mishra, a former state Congress vice-president, came to the Assembly along with senior TMC leader Suvendu Adhikari and met Wednesday West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.

“I have joined the TMC as I feel that only this party under the leadership of Mamata Banerjee can fight the BJP and the RSS in West Bengal,” Mishra said.

Mishra had resigned as the Congress state vice-president post following the party’s dismal performance in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls. The Congress’ tally came down to two from four it had in the 2014 Lok Sabha polls.
