Suvendu Adhikari’s father Sisir joins BJP at Amit Shah’s rally
Mar 21, 2021 6:23 AM

Disgruntled TMC MP Sisir Adhikari on Sunday joined the BJP at Union Leader Amit Shah’s rally in West Bengal's Egra, following in the footsteps of his two sons Suvendu and Soumendu.

He said that he will put up a formidable fight against the Mamata Banerjee camp to "save the honour of Midnapore".

The patriarch of the Adhikari family, which wields considerable influence in Bengal's Purba Medinipur district, said that he was forced to switch camp, as the leaders of the ruling party left him with no other option.

Earlier, too, the TMC MP had accused the ruling party of "humiliating" him and son Suvendu, who is locked in a fierce battle with Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee in the district's Nandigram constituency. "They (TMC leaders) forced me to join the BJP. Let them (TMC) do what they want, and I will do what I can," Adhikari told.

He asserted that Suvendu Adhikari will bag the Nandigram seat by a comfortable margin. "Suvendu will win the polls by a huge margin. The TMC will be wiped out of East Midnapore," the Lok Sabha MP added.

In photos: In a historic first, Donald Trump sets foot in North Korea as he meets Kim Jong Un
Jun 30, 2019
With wide grins and a historic handshake, President Donald Trump and North Korea's Kim Jong Un met at the heavily fortified Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) on Sunday and agreed to revive talks on the pariah nation's nuclear program. Trump, pressing his bid for a legacy-defining deal, became the first sitting American leader to step into North Korea. What was intended to be an impromptu exchange of pleasantries turned into a 50-minute meeting, another historic first in the yearlong rapprochement between the two technically warring nations. It marked a return to face-to-face contact between the leaders after talks broke down during a summit in Vietnam in February. Significant doubts remain, though, about the future of the negotiations and the North's willingness to give up its stockpile of nuclear weapons . The border encounter was a made-for-television moment. The men strode toward one another from opposite sides of the Joint Security Area and shook hands over the raised patch of concrete at the Military Demarcation Line as cameras clicked and photographers jostled to capture the scene. After asking if Kim wanted him to cross, Trump took 10 steps into the North with Kim at his side, then escorted Kim back to the South for talks at Freedom House, where they agreed to revive the stalled negotiations. The spectacle marked the latest milestone in two years of roller-coaster diplomacy between the two nations.
