Why BJP Won't Induct TMC Rebels, Say Party Insiders

BJP insiders have indicated the party will not induct rebels from the Trinamool Congress, citing the mandate it received in the 2021 assembly elections. According to party sources, the decisive victory was built on a call for 'parivartan', or change, which would be undermined by absorbing TMC defectors.

The position reflects the BJP's strategy of maintaining the narrative around its electoral win rather than expanding through defections from opposition parties.
