Sandipan Saha, one of two Trinamool Congress MLAs expelled on Monday, turned on the party leadership within hours of the action, alleging that the TMC “treats any talk of morality as an offence”. He accused the party of “forging” the nomination of the assembly Leader of Opposition. This is only the latest fracture in a party reeling from defeat at the hands of the BJP.
"In this party, anyone who speaks of morality will be deemed to be engaging in anti-party activity, simply because the party itself does not engage in any moral conduct," Saha told news agency ANI.
"If, today, we have been suspended [note: party says expelled] for the sake of upholding morality, we are actually quite pleased," he further said.
Asked whether he would join another party, he said: “No, there is nothing like that. Why would I think about that?”
