'Won't contest elections but need respectable post': TMC MLA Sonali Guha on joining BJP

Trinamool Congress MLA from Satgachia in South 24 Parganas Sonali Guha to join BJP ahead of West Bengal Assembly elections.

She took this decision after her name was not mentioned in the first list of TMC candidates for Bengal polls.

"If Mamata didi can leave me so why can't I?

I called Mukul Roy and said that I won't contest elections but need a respectable post.

He agreed.

I will definitely join BJP," said Guha.
