Kolkata: The state Food and Supplies minister and Trinamool Congress (TMC) president of North 24-Parganas Jyotipriya Mallick on Tuesday claimed that soon six to seven BJP MPs are going to join Trinamool Congress. Mallick participated in a rally organised on the National Youth Day at Habra in North 24-Parganas. At the end of the rally, Mallick said: "Its a matter of just a few months. Just wait and watch, six to seven BJP MPs are going to join TMC." "The MLAs who have left TMC and joined BJP are also standing in a queue to come back after realising their mistake. It is also not possible for Suvendu Adhikari too to continue in BJP. He will leave the saffron party after a few months," Mallick said. When asked about the possible result of Trinamool Congress in the forthcoming Assembly elections, the party president of North 24-parganas said: "I am sure that TMC will bag at least 220 seats.
