Kolkata: Kasturi Goswami, daughter of former Left Front govt minister Kshiti Goswami, joined BJP on Tuesday along with former National Security Guard commando Dipanjan Chakraborty and retired CRPF officer Biplab Biswas. RSP minister Kshiti passed away in 2019.
After Kshiti‘s death, one of her daughters, Vasundhara, joined Trinamool. TMC fielded her from ward 96 in the Kolkata Municipal Corporation elections at the end of 2021, which she won.
There was speculation on whether BJP would field Kasturi in the upcoming assembly elections.
