'Tipping point to join TMC was attack on Mamata in Nandigram': Yashwant Sinha

Former BJP leader Yashwant Sinha joined TMC ahead of the high-stakes Bengal elections.

Sinha said the tipping point to join TMC was when Mamata Banerjee was attacked in Nandigram.

โ€œThe tipping point to join TMC was the attack on Mamata ji in Nandigram.

It was the moment of decision to join TMC and support Mamata ji,โ€ he said.

The Bengal CM, who was admitted to SSKM Hospital in Kolkata, was discharged on March 12.

Mamata fell and suffered injuries after she was allegedly pushed by 4-5 unidentified people on March 10.

The TMC chief was on two-day visit to Purba Medinipur to file her nomination and campaign.
