Kolkata, April 12: Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose’s great-grandson Chandra Kumar Bose on Sunday joined the Trinamool Congress after completely disassociating himself from the BJP.
Bose was officially inducted into the party at Trinamool Bhavan in the presence of state minister Bratya Basu and party MP Kirti Azad, who handed him the Trinamool flag.
Earlier, after being called for the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) hearing, Chandra Bose became disillusioned with the BJP, wondering why there was any doubt about his citizenship, even after being the great-grandson of a freedom fighter like Netaji.
Ahead of the Assembly polls, Chandra Bose has officially joined the Trinamool. “A few years ago, I made a historic mistake by joining the Bharatiya Janata Party. I have corrected that mistake today,” he said at the press conference. (IANS)
