Kolkata: Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Rachana Banerjee joins ‘rebel’ MP camp. Talking to the media, Rachana said that she will always respect former Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee as they shared a bond for several years.

“My respect for didi will never be compromised. Everyone says that we received votes because of Didi. That is correct. We got votes because of Didi, but people didn’t vote for Rachana Banerjee just to see my face. People have trusted me so that I can work for them. Those who have joined the other camp are older than me and are more experienced. They must have thought something for the benefit of the state,” said the actor-turned-politician.

Rachana further added, “I will support Suvendu Adhikari and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will make Bengal number one state. There were many instances where obstacles were created in our work and we could not work the way we wanted to stand by the people. In order to work the way people want us to, it is important to stay connected with the central government.”

Another TMC MP Kakoli Ghosh Dastidar said that she will work with the support of the Prime Minister and the Union Home Minister.
