WB couple, who shared lunch and took selfies with Amit Shah join Trinamool Congress
The couple from northern Bangal’s Naxalbari district who shared lunch with BJP President Amit Shah in their hut last week have now joined the Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress.
Reported first in NDTV, Geeta and Raju Mahali were welcomed into the TMC partyfold by state tourism minister Gautam Deb.
The report added that the BJP alleged that the couple had been kidnapped – a claim that was denied both by Deb and the couple.
Shah had visited West Bengal last month where he stopped at the Mahali’s resident in Naxalbari. They served him an all-vegetarian meal on a leaf and Geeta took selfies with the BJP president.
