As per news report of NDTV, In bitter criticism of the Trinamool leadership, Mr Das alleged “internal groupism” in the party and said it was being run like a “puppet show.” “The Trinamool wants to secure themselves in West Bengal by weakening the Congress in rest of the country, in a way that helps the BJP,” said Mr Das. He also trained his guns at Trinamool National General Secretary Abhishek Banerjee, the nephew of Ms Banerjee, and said there was no democratic environment in both BJP and Trinamool. Interestingly, before joining the Trinamool, Mr Das had shaved his head as an “act of atonement” for his association with the BJP, and heaped praises on West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.
