Netaji kin Chandra Bose joins TMC

Chandra Bose, grandnephew of Subhas Chandra Bose and a former BJP leader, joined the Trinamool Congress on Sunday, days ahead of the West Bengal assembly elections.

Bose joined the ruling party in the presence of state minister Bratya Basu and TMC MP Kirti Azad, and alleged that the BJP indulges in “divisive politics” and does not follow the legendary freedom fighter’s ideals.

“It is not possible to follow Netaji’s ideals while being in the BJP,” Chandra Bose asserted.
