Speaking to reporters on Thursday, Ghosh asserted that several Trinamool Congress (TMC) MLAs and leaders, who were denied tickets or are unhappy with the leadership, are now actively reaching out to the BJP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Ever since Mamata Banerjee announced her list, there has been a revolt within the TMC. Many of their sitting MLAs and veteran leaders are now in contact with us, seeking a way into the BJP. They know the ship is sinking,&#8221; Ghosh said with his trademark confidence. He suggested that the upcoming lists of BJP candidates might feature some surprising defectors from the ruling camp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Analysts view this statement as a strategic move to create unrest within the TMC grassroots. While the TMC has dismissed these claims as &#8220;baseless rumors,&#8221; the growing number of internal protests in constituencies like Sonarpur and Shyampur adds weight to Ghosh\u2019s remarks. As the battle for Bengal intensifies, Dilip Ghosh\u2019s &#8220;explosive list&#8221; claim has certainly set the stage for a high-stakes political drama.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reigniting the political heat in West Bengal, senior BJP leader Dilip Ghosh has made a sensational claim following his nomination from the Kharagpur Sadar seat for the 2026 Assembly elections.
