In a fillip to the Trinamool Congress ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, Congress leaders Kirti Azad and Ashok Tanwar on Tuesday joined the Mamata Banerjee-led party in New Delhi. Earlier in the day, former Janata Dal (United) leader Pavan Varma also joined the Trinamool Congress in the presence of Mamata Banerjee. The Trinamool Congress posted on Twitter the news of the induction of the three leaders into the party fold. Today was a very special day for the Trinamool Congress family! “Looking at the current political circumstances and the potential in Mamata Banerjee, I have today joined Trinamool Congress,” Varma said.
