August 17, 2021 13:41

Newly inducted TMC leader Sushmita Dev's first statement after joining the party yesterday.

"My joining the Trinamool Congress is unconditional," says Sushmita Dev. "I don't think I have compromised my ideology in joining TMC. It is wrong to compare Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and TMC leader Abhishek Banerjee.

"In my 30 years in politics, I haven't demanded anything from Congress high command and here too I will take any responsibility given to me by Mamata Banerjee," she said.

The former Assam MP from the Congress joined the Trinamool Congress in Kolkata on Monday, in the presence of the party's national general secretary, Abhishek Banerjee.
