New Delhi : , Nov 23, 2003 – Kirti Azad, another Congress leader, is expected to leave the party.She will join Trinamool Congress in Tuesday’s presence with Mamata Banerjee. This development was confirmed by sources close to Azad.
According to sources, Azad felt marginalized in his party and decided to leave.
He fought in the Lok Sabha elections on a Congress ticket but was unsuccessful.Although he was previously with the BJP before separating from the leadership, he left.
Azad is married to an active Delhi politician.
Azad is a former cricketer and the son of Bhagwat Jha Azad (Bihar Chief Minister).
Trinamool could use Azad as a valuable catch to increase its foothold in Bihar (the neighboring state of West Bengal).
Trinamool Congress will be a home for disgruntled Congress leadership who are fed up with their current functioning.
Azad could be the latest member of Trinamool.Luizinho Faleiro was an ex-chief Minister of Goa, close to Sonia Gandhi, and was also a member of the working committee.
He joined Trinamool, and later was elected to the Rajya Sabha.
Faleiro joined Trinamool following the footsteps of Sushmita, a former Congress women’s wing president who also joined Mamata’s Party.
Congress leaders who don’t find a home in Rahul Gandhi’s setup are leaving.Falerio will be a factor in the Goa election as he was one the MLAs of the five-member Congress legislative Party.
