New Delhi: Six MLAs who were expelled by the Trinamool Congress last month, have joined BJP. They joined BJP in the presence of Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and state party chief Biplab Kumar Deb at a function in Agartala on Monday.

The MLAs are former TMC State unit president Ashish Kumar Saha, Sudip Roy Barman, DC Hrangkhawl, Bishwabandhu Sen, Pranajit Singha Roy and Dilip Sarkar. They were expelled by TMC on the issue of disagreement for giving vote to Congress-CPM sponsored Presidential candidate Meira Kumar.
